- Résumé : "Every Man in His Humour" by Ben Jonson is a seminal work in the canon of English literature, marking a significant shift in the development of comedic drama. The play is renowned for its innovative use of the "comedy of humours," a concept Jonson pioneered, which involves characters driven by dominant traits or passions. Set in London, the narrative revolves around the interactions and conflicts of various characters, each embodying distinct humours. The plot is relatively straightforward, focusing on a father's attempt to observe and correct his son's wayward behavior. However, the richness of the play lies in its vivid characterizations and the satirical portrayal of societal norms. Jonson's work is a critique of the affectations and pretensions of contemporary society, using humor to expose the follies and vices of his characters. The play's success established Jonson as a leading dramatist of his time, second only to Shakespeare. It also influenced subsequent English comedy, encouraging a more structured and character-driven approach to the genre. Jonson's emphasis on classical restraint and his disdain for the unregulated creativity of his contemporaries are evident throughout the play, reflecting his broader literary philosophy.
- Biographie : Benjamin Jonson (c. 11 June 1572 - c. 16 August 1637) was an English playwright and poet. Jonson's artistry exerted a lasting influence upon English poetry and stage comedy. He popularised the comedy of humours; he is best known for the satirical plays Every Man in His Humour (1598), Volpone, or The Fox (c. 1606), The Alchemist (1610) and Bartholomew Fair (1614) and for his lyric and epigrammatic poetry. He is generally regarded as the second most important English dramatist, after William Shakespeare, during the reign of James I.
