"The English Rogue: Continued in the Life of Meriton Latroon, and Other Extravagants" by Fran. Kirkman is a fictional work written in the late 17th century. This narrative recounts the misadventures of the titular character, Meriton Latroon, alongside various others, as they navigate through tales of deceit, seduction, and trickery that illustrate the roguish behavior rampant in society. The text delves deeper into themes of vice and moral shortcomings, often presenting cautionary tales regarding the consequences of such lifestyles. The opening of the tale introduces a character named Mrs. Dorothy, who recounts her experiences in manipulating her lovers for monetary gain while navigating a web of deceit involving her multiple suitors. She cleverly orchestrates a situation where her lovers financially support her throughout her pregnancy, maintaining relationships with them simultaneously. The narrative sets a tone of cunning and trickery as Dorothy's escapades unfold, presenting a vivid discussion of the societal norms and expectations of women at the time, and showcasing how characters like her adapt to survive in a morally complex world.
