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.
