Zelmer, and David Widger "Every Man in His Humour" by Ben Jonson is a comedic play written during the late 16th century, often regarded as one of the foundational works for English comedy. The play follows various characters in London society, particularly focusing on the humorous traits or "humours" that govern their behavior and interactions. It explores themes of identity, folly, and the contrast between personal desires and societal expectations. The opening of the play introduces key characters, primarily Lorenzo Senior, who is concerned about his son Lorenzo Junior's pursuits in poetry and study, and their friend Stephano, who expresses a desire to adopt gentlemanly behavior. As the scene unfolds in Lorenzo Senior's household, there's a breach of trust when the father opens a letter meant for his son, written by Signior Prospero, which reveals the playful and carefree nature of youth. This sets the tone for the exploration of varying human traits and foibles, showcasing how each character's distinct humour affects their relationships and societal roles. The ground is laid for both comedic situations and character-driven interactions that characterize the rest of the play. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
