Description

"Bartholomew Fair: A Comedy" by Ben Jonson is set at the bustling Bartholomew Fair in London. It follows various characters, including Quarlous and Winwife, who vie for the hand of Grace Wellborn. The fair becomes a microcosm of society, with merchants, conmen, and gullible visitors. The play satirizes greed, hypocrisy, and the chaos of city life. Amidst the colorful chaos, Jonson explores themes of morality and human folly, creating a vivid portrait of 17th-century urban culture.
