Summary "The Inconstant" by George Farquhar is a comedy written in the early 18th century. The play revolves around themes of love, fidelity, and the complications that arise from romantic entanglements, showcasing the experiences and interactions of various characters, particularly two young men, Mirabel and Duretete, as they navigate societal expectations and personal desires. The opening of "The Inconstant" introduces a lively scene set in the streets of Paris, establishing the return of Young Mirabel from his travels abroad and his reunion with Captain Duretete. Their lively banter hints at their flirtatious pursuits and introduces Old Mirabel, Young Mirabel's father, who is eager to rekindle familial ties. As characters arrive and interact, themes of deception and romantic intrigue unfold, particularly concerning the affections and intentions surrounding Oriana, a woman cherished by many.
