Abstract
William Congreve was one of the rebuilding age’s most celebrated writers. The Way of the World represents the personal view of Congreve of the Restoration culture and city life, full of its artificiality and rigidity. The Way of the World exhibits an appropriate picture of the habits of the rebuilding and the eighteenth-century social description. French was a language of design around them. The writing style of Congreve reveals both intellect and compassion. The purpose of writing this research paper is to show how Congreve’s play The Way of the World is a Restoration comedy and how Congreve depicted the high society of London. Finding unpredictable connections is one of the hard things. Restoration Comedy burst on to the English drama after Charles II revived the theatre in 1660, a new kind of comedy, which remained the theatre’s preferred style for the rest of the century.
