How does Dorimant’s attitude toward reputation and public display contrast with Horner’s from The Country Wife? How do their respective attitudes toward reputation intersect with their temperaments toward women?
With all the pressure put on fops in this play (the staging of, debates over, commentaries on, etc.), how much are fops stand-ins for cultural dismissals of French style and fashion? Are fops just another body through which anti-French humor (an English theatrical staple) is transmitted?
