Cynthia's Revels, or The Fountain of Self-Love

Cynthia's Revels, written by Ben Jonson and performed in 1600, is a comical satire that explores themes of self-love and personal vanity. The play features a complex structure filled with witty dialogue and caricatures, although its central idea is not fully realized, often shifting towards allegory. Notable for its elaborate characterizations and social commentary, it serves as a reflection of Jonson's critique of contemporary society and human nature.
