Book excerpt: This is a classic 1598 play by the English playwright Ben Jonson, showcasing a fascinating world of societal roles and human quirks. With a cast of memorable characters dominated by overriding humour or obsessions, the play offers a delightful insight into the follies and foibles of everyday life in Renaissance England. The story revolves around a father who tries to spy on his son's moral development but is continually foiled by a witty servant. Meanwhile, a jealous merchant fears his wife is being unfaithful, and the surrounding cast of humorous characters adds to the play's charm. Through a tightly woven mesh of act and reaction, Jonson skillfully explores the complexities of human nature with wit, insight, and humor.
