The Way of the World is a play written by William Congreve, first performed in 1700. The play is a comedy of manners, set in London in the late 17th century, and follows the romantic entanglements and social machinations of a group of wealthy aristocrats. The central characters are Mirabell, a young man who is in love with the heiress Millamant, and his friend Fainall, who is married to Millamant's aunt. Mirabell must navigate the complex social rules and conventions of the time in order to win Millamant's hand in marriage, while Fainall schemes to undermine Mirabell's plans and maintain his own power and wealth. The play is known for its witty dialogue, intricate plot, and satirical commentary on the customs and values of the upper classes. It is considered one of the greatest works of Restoration comedy and has been widely performed and adapted over the centuries.LADY. With Mirabell? You call my blood into my face with mentioning that traitor. She durst not have the confidence. I sent her to negotiate an affair, in which if I'm detected I'm undone. If that wheedling villain has wrought upon Foible to detect me, I'm ruined. O my dear friend, I'm a wretch of wretches if I'm detected.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
