Summary "Every Man in His Humour" by Ben Jonson is a comedy written during the late 16th century, often regarded as a pivotal work in English drama. The play is centered around the character Edward Knowell, an impressionable young man whose father, Knowell, disapproves of his son's choice of friends and lifestyle, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and character interactions in the bustling social scene of London. The beginning of the play sets the stage by introducing Knowell, who is concerned about his scholarly son and his potentially misguided choices. A comedic tone is established as the interactions between Knowell and his cousin Stephen reveal Stephen's frivolous attitude and aspirations for gentlemanly status, contrasted against Knowell's more serious demeanor. As the action unfolds, we encounter other characters who embody various comedic humours, laying the groundwork for the interplay of social commentary and character-driven humor that Jonson is famous for. Themes of youthful folly, parental concern, and the clash of social expectations are introduced, promising an engaging exploration of human nature through wit and satire.
