Every Man In His Humour

Book cover
By: (1572-1637)

"Every Man In His Humour" by Ben Jonson is a classic comedy that brings to life the follies and foibles of various characters from different social classes in London. The play is a satirical look at human nature and the ways in which our egos and insecurities can often lead us into comical and absurd situations.

The characters in the play are vibrant and larger than life, with each one representing a different aspect of society. From the pompous and self-important Kitely to the lovable rogue Bobadil, each character adds a unique flavor to the story and keeps the audience engaged throughout.

Ben Jonson's wit and sharp observational skills shine through in every scene, as he skewers the pretensions and vanities of his characters with razor-sharp precision. The dialogue crackles with energy and humor, making the play a joy to read and watch unfold on stage.

Overall, "Every Man In His Humour" is a delightful and entertaining comedy that still resonates with audiences today. Jonson's keen insight into human nature and his ability to make us laugh at ourselves make this play a timeless classic that never fails to entertain.
