Summary "The Pain and Sorrow of Evil Marriage" by Wynkyn de Worde is a humorous poetic tract written during the early 16th century, likely in the period surrounding the English Renaissance. This book addresses the trials and tribulations of marriage, using irony and satire to explore the societal and personal woes faced by husbands confronted with their wives' expectations and behaviors. It serves as both a cautionary tale and a reflection on the nature of marital relationships. The narrative is structured around the perspective of a husband who reflects on the burdens of marriage and the wisdom he gains from the experience. Through a series of witty verses, he laments the challenges posed by an unpredictable wife, discussing themes such as jealousy, financial stress, and the societal pressures of matrimony. With a blend of dark humor and realistic portrayal, the husband navigates the complexities of his relationship, ultimately suggesting that avoidance of marriage might be preferable to enduring its pitfalls. The text uses biblical references and employs a range of poetic devices to engage readers while delivering its critique of marital life. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
