However, his father has arranged for him to marry another woman, Hippolita, for political reasons. Charalois reluctantly agrees to the marriage, but on the condition that he will be allowed to divorce Hippolita after a month and marry Lamira. As the play progresses, Charalois becomes increasingly unhappy with his marriage to Hippolita and begins to plot his divorce. However, his plans are complicated by the arrival of Lamira, who has been kidnapped and held captive by a group of bandits. Charalois must navigate a complex web of relationships and alliances in order to rescue Lamira and achieve his ultimate goal of marrying her.The play is a mixture of tragedy and comedy, with elements of romance, adventure, and political intrigue. It explores themes such as love, loyalty, and the struggle for personal freedom in a society that places great importance on social status and political power. Overall, A Wife For A Month: A Tragi-Comedy (1717) is a compelling and entertaining play that offers a fascinating glimpse into the world of 18th-century English drama.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
