The Case Is Altered (Classic Reprint): A Comedy: A Comedy (Classic Reprint) - Softcover

Inhaltsangabe

Witty farce of love, gullibility, and gold in a world of disguises
A clever comedy by Ben Jonson, The Case Is Altered follows a tangle of mistaken identities, budding romances, and social pretensions. Riches and rank collide with deceit and desire as characters chase dowries, honor, and happiness.

In a series of sharp banters and comic confrontations, lords, stewards, and waiting characters navigate riches, bets, and the risk of scandal. Expect lively scenes, quick wits, and a playful look at how far people will go for love and status.

• Character-driven humor centered on disguise, disguise, and the truth that slips through cracks of pride


• Colorful entrances and exits that keep pace with brisk, stage-worthy dialogue


• Altogether entertaining social satire about money, morality, and marriage markets


• A theatrical portrait of ambition, loyalty, and the bonds that tie families and friends

Ideal for readers who enjoy classic comedies of manners, sharp wordplay, and ensemble plots where luck, cleverness, and misdirection drive the action.
