Resumen: "The Contrast" by Royall Tyler is a comedy written in 1787. As the first professionally produced comedy by an American citizen, it satirizes Americans who blindly follow British fashions and manners. The play contrasts European sophistication with American virtue through its characters: the honorable Colonel Manly versus the snobbish Anglophile Mr. Dimple, who schemes to juggle three women while pursuing wealth. When Dimple's deceptions unravel and his true character emerges, love and honor ultimately triumph over pretense and greed in this spirited examination of American identity.
