"The Scornful Lady" by John Fletcher and Francis Beaumont is a classic Jacobean comedy that offers a witty and insightful exploration of love, marriage, and social conventions. Set in the vibrant world of early 17th-century England, the play follows the story of a strong-willed young woman named Miranda who is determined to resist the pressures of society and assert her independence. At the heart of the play is Miranda's refusal to conform to the expectations placed upon her by her family and society at large. Despite their efforts to arrange a suitable marriage for her, Miranda remains steadfast in her resolve to marry for love rather than convenience or social status.
