Description: "The Way of the World" by William Congreve is a classic Restoration comedy that satirizes the manners and morals of 18th-century English society. Set in the glittering world of the upper class, the play follows the romantic entanglements and social intrigues of its characters as they navigate the complexities of love, marriage, and social status. At the heart of the play is the love story between Mirabell and Millamant, two witty and sophisticated individuals who are determined to marry for love rather than money or social advantage. However, their path to happiness is obstructed by a host of obstacles, including the machinations of Lady Wishfort, Millamant's wealthy and ambitious aunt, who is determined to marry her off to the highest bidder.
