508 _aTranscribed from the 1895 Methuen & Co. edition (_Comedies of William Congreve_, _Volume_ 2) by David Price
520 _a"The Way of the World" by William Congreve is a comedy play first performed in 1700. Set among London's upper class, it follows the intricate romance between Mirabell and Millamant, who must navigate deception, social maneuvering, and family obstacles to marry. Mirabell needs Lady Wishfort's blessing to secure Millamant's full dowry, but the bitter widow despises him and prefers her own nephew as a suitor. Through elaborate schemes and witty dialogue, the play satirizes marriage as a business transaction while exploring themes of love, reputation, and high society's superficiality.
