Prix public : 26,90 €

"The Woman's Prize" by Francis Beaumont is a comedic play that delves into themes of love, marriage, and gender roles in Jacobean England. Written during the early 17th century, this work is a sequel to Beaumont's earlier play, "The Woman Hater." In "The Woman's Prize," the story revolves around Morose, a misanthropic man who is determined to remain unmarried. However, Morose's resolve is tested when his former wife, Livia, returns to reclaim him. Despite Morose's resistance, Livia and her allies engage in a series of schemes and manipulations to win him back. Central to the play is the exploration of gender dynamics and the power struggles within marriage. Through witty dialogue and comedic situations, Beaumont highlights the complexities of romantic relationships and the challenges faced by both men and women in navigating societal expectations. "The Woman's Prize" offers a humorous and satirical commentary on the institution of marriage, as well as the roles and expectations placed on individuals based on their gender. With its lively characters and entertaining plot, Beaumont's play continues to entertain audiences and provoke thought about the timeless themes it addresses.
