The Politician Out-Witted Produced by David Starner, Brownfox and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Politician Out-Witted" by Samuel Low is a comedy written during the late 18th century. The play explores the political climate of post-Revolution America, particularly the debates surrounding the Constitution. The main characters include Old Loveyet, who is skeptical of the new federal government, and his son Charles Loveyet, who returns from the West Indies and is eager to win the affection of Harriet, daughter of Trueman, an equally opinionated character in this political comedy. The beginning of the play introduces us to Old Loveyet, who dismisses the new Constitution with frustration, showcasing a deep concern for the state of liberty and governance in early America. Characters such as Thomas, Trueman, and Charles are quickly established, with humorous exchanges illuminating their differing views on age, politics, and societal norms. The plot thickens as Loveyet Sr.'s opinions clash with his son’s ambitions to pursue Harriet, reflecting a broader conflict between old and new ideologies within the framework of familial and romantic relationships. The opening sets the stage for a lively exploration of both individual desires and collective political struggles. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 72.8 (7th grade).
