Comedy of Manners in English Literature | restoration comedy | Restoration Age | Drama

The comedy of manners, also called anti-sentimental comedy, is a form of comedy that satirizes the manners and affectations of contemporary society and questions societal standards. Social class stereotypes are often represented through stock characters such as the miles gloriosus in ancient Greek comedy or the fop and rake of English Restoration comedy, which is sometimes used as a synonym for "comedy of manners". A comedy of manners often sacrifices the plot, which usually centers on some scandal, to witty dialogue and sharp social commentary. Oscar Wilde's play, The Importance of Being Earnest (1895), which satirized the Victorian morality of the time, is one of the best-known plays of this genre. ________________________________________________________ Follow English for All on Instagram username - Englishforall8 Link -   / englishforall8   Follow me on Instagram username - Jafri88 link - https://www.instagram.com/jafri88/?hl=en Like our fb page https://www.facebook.com/EnglishForAl...
