Ben Jonson 
Epicoene, or The Silent Woman [EPUB ebook] 

Підтримка

Set in early 17th-century London this play is renowned for its sharp wit, intricate plot, and vibrant characters. Jonson masterfully crafts a story centered around the wealthy, old Morose, who detests noise and yearns for a quiet life, leading him to marry the seemingly silent Epicoene. However, his quest for tranquility quickly unravels in a series of comedic twists and turns, revealing the true nature of his bride and the scheming surrounding his fortune.

The play stands out for its satirical take on the societal norms of the Jacobean era, particularly in its portrayal of gender dynamics and the folly of human desires. Jonson’s clever use of irony, disguise, and miscommunication makes ‘Epicoene’ a timeless piece, offering a humorous yet insightful commentary on the complexities of human relationships.

Epicoene is a must-read for those who appreciate classic literature, particularly the works of Shakespeare’s contemporaries, and for anyone interested in the exploration of gender and social satire in early modern drama.
