Summary: "Wit Without Money" by John Fletcher is a comedy likely written in the early 17th century, during the English Renaissance. The play revolves around the character Valentine, a gentleman who has squandered his inheritance and refuses to take financial responsibility, leading to humorous situations as he interacts with his family and companions. At the start of the play, we are introduced to Valentine through a conversation between his Uncle and a Merchant, expressing concern about his reckless lifestyle and his neglect of property and personal affairs. Valentine is portrayed as a witty and carefree yet stubborn individual, who seemingly takes pride in living without caring about material wealth. He is confronted by his tenants, who plead for support, and exhibits a disdain for traditional social and financial obligations. The opening sets up a backdrop of financial struggle, contrasting Valetine's playful philosophy on life with the more serious concerns of his family and friends, emphasizing themes of wealth, folly, and the pursuit of love amidst social expectations.
