Review Act 2: If Restoration comedy
Looking at Restoration Comedy through the lens of social prescription; is marriage an institution which uplifts society during the Restoration period, is it now?
The definition of comedy and the background of the Restoration Comedy helps to explain the themes that run throughout these plays. One of the major themes is marriage and the game of love. However, if marriage is a mirror of society, the couples in the plays show something very dark and sinister about order. Many critiques of marriage that we see in the play are devastating, but the game of love is not much more hopeful. Although the endings are happy and the man invariably gets the woman (or at least that is the implication), we see marriages without love and love affairs that are rebellious breaks with tradition.
