Due:        In class, Tuesday December 1
Length:    5 pages, typed and double-spaced

Discuss Congreve's The Way of the World as a play about the social world and marriage.  Pay careful attention to the play as a play in the course of your discussion.  That is, use the play's artistic elements--character foils, parallel scenes, juxtapositions, and imagery--to advance your argument.
