‘Cynthia’s Revels: The Fountain of Self-Love’ by Ben Jonson is a satirical play that delves into the world of courtly flattery, vanity, and self-indulgence. The court of Queen Cynthia (a representation of Queen Elizabeth I) is populated by characters representing various vices and follies. The central character, Crites, is a young courtier who seeks self-improvement through the Fountain of Self-Love. Through witty dialogues and sharp humor, Jonson critiques the artificiality of courtly life, the pursuit of personal gain, and the consequences of excessive self-love. The play serves as a mirror to society’s vanities and excesses, offering a comedic yet incisive commentary on human nature.
