- Résumé : "Rule a Wife and Have a Wife" is a comedic play by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher, set in 17th century Spain. The narrative revolves around themes of marriage, deception, and social status. The play opens with Juan de Castro and Michael Perez discussing military matters and the allure of a wealthy heiress, Donna Margarita. Margarita, a young and wealthy woman, seeks a husband who will allow her freedom and not interfere with her lifestyle. She finds such a man in Leon, a seemingly simple and obedient soldier, whom she marries under the assumption that he will be easily controlled. However, Leon is not as naive as he appears and has his own plans. Simultaneously, Michael Perez, a soldier, marries Estifania, believing her to be wealthy. Estifania, however, is a cunning woman who manipulates Perez for her own gain. The play explores the dynamics between these couples, highlighting the comedic elements of mistaken identities, misunderstandings, and the pursuit of personal desires. The characters navigate through a series of humorous situations, revealing the complexities of relationships and the societal expectations of marriage. The play is a reflection on the roles and expectations of men and women in society, using humor to critique the institution of marriage and the pursuit of wealth and status. Through witty dialogue and clever plot twists, Beaumont and Fletcher create a narrative that entertains while offering a satirical commentary on the social norms of their time.
- Biographie : John Fletcher est un dramaturge anglais, fils de l'évêque de Londres Richard Fletcher.
