*Product information may vary - to confirm product availability, pricing, shipping and return information please contact Coles
The play centers on the story of a Venetian nobleman, Signor Ottavio, who is deceived by the actions of his wife, who believes he has been unfaithful to her. The narrative unfolds with the character of Ottavio struggling between his sense of honor and his desire for revenge. The plot is marked by intrigue, mistaken identities, and a series of dramatic confrontations, all of which serve to test the limits of loyalty and trust in relationships. As the story progresses, Ottavio discovers the true nature of his wife’s suspicions and comes to terms with his own feelings of guilt and shame.The Perjur'd Husband is often seen as a commentary on the moral and social norms of the time, especially in its treatment of the institution of marriage and the consequences of infidelity. Centlivre’s use of tragic elements and her ability to create emotional tension is evident throughout the play. Although it was written in the context of 17th and 18th-century theater, the work resonates with modern audiences for its exploration of universal themes of human vulnerability, the complexity of relationships, and the cost of betrayal.
