Every Man In His Humour

“”Every Man In His Humour”” is a comedy play by Ben Jonson that was first performed in 1598. The play is a satire on Elizabethan society, where each character is defined by an overriding obsession or ‘humour.’ The story revolves around a gentleman named Kno’well, who is concerned for his son’s moral development and attempts to spy on him. However, his efforts are continually thwarted by the servant, Brainworm, whom he employs for this purpose. The play humorously portrays the diverse personalities and social fabric of Elizabethan London. Ben Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 – c. 6 August 1637) was an English playwright and poet, second only to Shakespeare in his time. He was well-read and cultured, with a penchant for controversy. His works, including “”Volpone”” and “”The Alchemist,”” are known for their satirical edge and have had a lasting influence on English poetry and stage comedy. —- ISBN: 9798332669620
