“Every Man In His Humour” is a classic comedy play by Ben Jonson, first performed in 1598. The play is a satirical exploration of human nature, focusing on the exaggerated traits, or “humours,” that dominate the personalities of its characters. Set in London, the story follows a diverse cast, including the braggart Captain Bobadil, the gullible Squire Stephen, and the scheming Master Matthew, among others. Each character is driven by their own obsession, leading to a series of humorous misunderstandings and comic situations. Through sharp wit and clever dialogue, Jonson critiques the absurdities of society, exposing the folly of human behavior. The play is considered one of Jonson’s most successful works and remains an important example of Renaissance comedy, blending humor with social commentary.
Ben Jonson (1572–1637) was an English playwright, poet, and actor, widely regarded as one of the most important figures in English Renaissance literature. A contemporary of William Shakespeare, Jonson is best known for his satirical plays and his influence on English comedy. His works, including “Volpone,” “The Alchemist,” and “Every Man In His Humour,” are celebrated for their wit, complexity, and keen observation of human nature.
