Already my favorite part of the play is Act II, scene ii where Truewit assaults Morose with a verbal waterfall, an unending description of "friends'" elaborate concerns about Morose's impending marriage. Morose's pain is inexplicably funny - possibly because I can't personally identify much with the cause of his agony.
Truly, Ben Jonson had something going for him.
