Produced by Jonathan Ingram and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at http://www.pgdp.net "The Mad Lover, a Tragi-Comedy" by Francis Beaumont and John Fletcher is a theatrical play written in the early 17th century. The narrative is set in the kingdom of Paphos and revolves around complex themes of love, honor, and identity. The main character is Memnon, a general who experiences a profound transformation driven by his mad passion for the Princess Calis, leading to a series of humorous and tragic events as he navigates courtly life and the expectations that come with it. At the start of the play, we are introduced to the royal court of Paphos, where the King discusses the valiant General Memnon's recent military victories. Memnon interacts with his peers but struggles with social conventions, particularly while expressing his feelings for Princess Calis, leading to comical misunderstandings. The opening establishes not only the backdrop of war and court intrigue but also hints at Memnon’s inner turmoil as he grapples with his love for Calis, setting the stage for his subsequent actions that blend folly with deep emotion.
