| Summary | "Swetnam, the Woman-hater, arraigned by Women" by Anonymous is a play written in the early 17th century. It presents a satirical examination of gender relations, focusing on the character Misogynos, who embodies a severe disdain for women. The narrative unfolds in a court setting where women's behaviors and accusations are scrutinized, revealing the dynamics of love, accusation, and societal expectations. The opening portion of the play establishes a framework for a debate around the character of Misogynos and sets the scene for the conflict that arises from his views on women. Loretta, who serves as the prologue, welcomes the audience while highlighting the societal injustices women face from men like Misogynos. A series of exchanges among noblemen and the royal family discusses the mysterious absence of Prince Lorenzo and introduces the King's overwhelming grief, which serves as a backdrop for the ensuing drama. Additionally, the first act outlines the tangled personal relationships and intrigues among characters, as Misogynos prepares to launch a scathing critique against women, igniting conflict that will play out throughout the narrative.
