My opinion on this play is impartial, and to be honest I think there is very little to say, despite being written in 1777, it wasn’t a difficult read. However, I feel the story of the play was almost non-existent. Sheridan wrote his play as a mockery of the English upper-class, and by no means does he fail in this objective and portrays each of his characters with a good degree of accuracy, however though possibly an intentional choice, each character seemed to have lacked an arc, and were fundamentally all very similar to one another. This demonstrates the facades that the upper class put on to appear more wealthy, however ultimately it limited the ability for the story and characters to have any such engaging plot line, other than complimenting one another and then criticising behind one another’s back. Therefore I’m final verdict I didn’t dislike the play, however there was very little that happened and therefore very little to say.
