The Country Wife I

In Wycherley's play, "the country" is imported into "the town." The paranoiac Pinchwife believes that the former possesses an innocent naivette, and submissiveness, that the ladies of the town lack. But we soon discover that his "country wife" has all the same desires, and foibles, as the town-ladies. Ironically, however, she does romanticize the affair with Horner, wishing to marry him, which fuels the crisis in the final act. How does this ironic inversion of Pinchwife's expectations speak to the discussions of "the town" and "the country"? How does her infidelity speak to Pinchwife's overbearing paranoia?
