Publisher's Synopsis

""Every Man In His Humour"" is a play written by Ben Jonson, first performed in 1598. The play is a comedy that explores the themes of social class, love, and deceit. The story follows the lives of several characters from different social classes, all of whom have their own unique personalities and quirks, or ""humours."" The play centers around the character of Kitely, a wealthy merchant who becomes suspicious of his wife's fidelity and hires a servant to spy on her. However, the servant's own personal ambitions lead to a series of misunderstandings and misadventures that ultimately lead to a happy ending. Through its witty dialogue, clever plot twists, and colorful characters, ""Every Man In His Humour"" offers a humorous and insightful look at human nature and the complexities of social interaction.How happy would I estimate my selfe, Could I (by any meane) retyre my son, From one vayne course of study he affects?
