Every Man in His Humor by Ben Jonson
"Every Man in His Humour" by Ben Jonson is a comedy performed in 1598. This groundbreaking "humours comedy" presents characters dominated by singular obsessions and quirks. When a concerned father tries to spy on his wayward son's activities in the city, his servant continually undermines the surveillance. Meanwhile, a merchant spirals into intense jealousy, convinced his wife is betraying him. Surrounding these entangled plots, a colorful cast of English types—boastful soldiers, country
fools, and pretentious poets—collide in escalating complications that only a wise judge might untangle. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
