註釋The play is set in the 18th century and follows the story of two young lovers, Bevil Jr. and Indiana. Bevil Jr. is the son of Sir John Bevil, a wealthy merchant, and Indiana is the daughter of Mr. Richly, a gentleman of modest means. The two are deeply in love but are faced with obstacles that threaten to keep them apart...The play is a classic example of 18th-century sentimental comedy, which emphasizes the virtues of love, honor, and virtue. It is also notable for its strong female characters, including Indiana and Phillis, who are both intelligent, independent, and resourceful. Overall, The Conscious Lovers is a charming and entertaining play that explores the themes of love, loyalty, and social class in a lighthearted and humorous way.
