520			_a"The Works of Aphra Behn, Volume IV" by Aphra Behn is a collection of comedic plays written in the late 17th century. This volume features notable works such as "Sir Patient Fancy," "The Amorous Prince," "The Widow Ranter," and "The Younger Brother," each exploring themes of love, deception, and social commentary through engaging character dynamics. The collection showcases Behn's perspectives as one of the first professional female playwrights, providing a glimpse into the complexities of human relationships in her time. The opening portion introduces "Sir Patient Fancy," focusing on Sir Patient, a wealthy but hypochondriacal alderman, who has taken a much younger wife, Lucia. Despite his affectionate demeanor, Lucia is secretly in love with another man, Charles Wittmore. The comedic tension unfolds through misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and playful deception as various characters navigate romantic entanglements and societal constraints. As Sir Patient becomes increasingly convinced of his own ailments, his fears and jealousy prevent him from noticing the true dynamics at play, setting the stage for humorous conflicts and resolutions as the plot develops.
