Summary "Three Hours after Marriage" by John Gay, Alexander Pope, and John Arbuthnot is a comedy written in the early 18th century. The play, showcasing a collaboration among these three eminent authors, explores themes of marriage, desire, and the humorous misadventures that ensue therefrom. It revolves around the characters of Dr. Fossile and his bride Mrs. Townley, highlighting the complexities of their new union and the intrigues that arise in the wake of their wedding. At the start of the drama, Dr. Fossile welcomes his bride, Mrs. Townley, into their new life together, but his confidence quickly falters as he grapples with doubts concerning their relationship and his role as her husband. The dialogue is marked by wit and banter as accompanying characters, such as the eccentric Phoebe Clinket and the flirtatious Plotwell, introduce layers of comic confusion and rivalry. The opening sets the stage for a series of misunderstandings and comedic scenarios that hint at the chaos and intrigue that will follow in their married life, as secrets and romantic escapades threaten to unravel their relationship.
