Question- Explain with reference to the context any four of the following passages.
Answer -
[1]
One no more owes one's
beauty to a lover than one's wit to an echo."
beauty to a lover than one's wit to an echo."
(Act II, Scene II)
Reference: These lines have been taken from the play "The Way of The World' written by the English playwright 'William Congreve'. It is widely regarded as one of the best Restoration comedies.
Explanation with Context: This quote being spoken by a young woman is of utmost importance to the play, as much of the witty conflict in the dialogue, especially in the early acts, centers around women's ability to sustain their power and selfhood without men, and as they age. Mrs. Millamant says here that she creates and owns her own beauty, and thus does not need a man to give her worth but rather to appreciate and perhaps magnify her worth.
[2]
"Friendship without Freedom is
as dull as love without
enjoyment, or wine without
toasting."
as dull as love without
enjoyment, or wine without
toasting."
(Act I, Scene II)
Explanation with Context: Two kinds of relationships are of perhaps equal importance in this story romantic relationship and platonic relationship, especially those between characters, of the same gender. Though witwood is justifying hairing spoken ill of his rival and yet supposed friend Petulant, what freedoms one has in either kind of these relationships is very important to the play, as is especially underscored in the scene in which Mr. Millamont and Mirabell layout the terms of freedom in their proposed marriage. That the simile refers to love, "enjoymant" of love, and wine alludes to the sexy and generally elebaucherous nature of the play, especially in later acts.
