I am not done reading the whole play. I just thought I would write some ideas down before I forgot, so bare with me.
Is it just me or does this sound like the last play, Marriage A La Mode? What strikes me the most is the references to the “orange wenches at the playhouse” plus every one and everything has the “pox”. And a question- everyone in the town knows each other because they have all slept together and now Mr. Pinchwife wants to keep his wife out of site the twons people so she does not get to know the community memebrs9 he he, that is a joke).
If I could guess what happens Mr. Horner will like and possibly do more than that if he has the chance, I bet, Mrs. Pinchwife (she seems a little out going). Plus it would be funny if he changed his morals for a women whom he should hate, like the rest of them. Prediction first made page 100.
This ‘understands the town’ must be important not just for sexual content but possibly for satirical gestures towards the higher class because of the sexual nature included with the position (he he, another joke).
I am having troubles determining if Mrs. Pinchwife really does want to meet other men or if she is just arousing her husband, I would not put it past her or another man who she will come in contact with but I guess I am a little confused. Because it is interesting when her husband actually tells her that a man is attracted to he: “I tell you then that one of-the lewdest fellows in Town, who saw you there, told me he was in love with you.” Why would do this? Could he possibly trust her with this information- I am willing to bet no.
Anyway, good enough for now. I must find a new name for my bunny- formally known as William Shakespeare. Why formally- he is not a he but a she.
