Beskrivelse af Love for Love
Love for Love is a play written by William Congreve, first performed in 1695. The play is a satirical comedy of manners that explores the themes of love, money, and marriage in 17th century London society. The plot revolves around the character of Valentine, a young man who is in love with Angelica, a wealthy and beautiful widow. However, Angelica is more interested in money than love and demands that Valentine prove his financial worth before she will consider marrying him. Meanwhile, Valentine's father, Sir Sampson, is determined to marry his son off to a woman who will bring him a large dowry. As the play unfolds, various characters scheme and plot to achieve their own ends, leading to a series of hilarious misunderstandings and mistaken identities. Love for Love is widely regarded as one of Congreve's finest works and is considered a classic of English literature. It is a witty and entertaining play that offers a fascinating glimpse into the social mores and values of the late 17th century.1693. Congreve's literary apprenticeship was served under the tutelage of John Dryden, the leading playwright of the day. William Congreve only wrote five plays before retiring from writing to work in government. Love for Love and his other plays showed a knack for writing urbane, scintillating wit that some say rivaled Moliere's.
