The Rivals
Aim behind writing the rivals of sheriden`s was only to please or entertain the audience instead of making them shed tears.the rivals was written as a comedy pure and simple.yet it has some sentimental scenes in this play,it surely considered as a parody of sentimentality.sheriden also revolted some fashionable scenes of those days such as:Falkland and Julia`s satire on the sentimental comedy.
A brief examination of this sentimental would clearly reveal that sheriden`s intention was to poke fun at the sentimental comedy of the time.here we find both Falkland and Julia`s absurd.the true character of Falkland is indicated to us by absolute`s description of him as the most teasing comptious,incorrigible lover.even Falkland`s own narration of his state of mind about his beloved Julia makes him looks absurd.for him every hour is an occasion for him to fell alarmed on Julia`s account.
For example:
If its rains,he feels afraid lets some snower should have chilled her.
If the wind is sharp,he feels afraid lets a rude blast should adversely affect her health.
The heat of the noon and the deas of the evening may endanger her wealth.
All this may feels funny and certainly that not to be taken seriously.sheriden here ridiculating the excessive solicitude and concern which an over sentiment lover like paul.experiences when seprated from his beloved.sheriden seems to be pleading for mental equilibrian in the case of an ardent lover also.
Sheriden continuos to portray Falkland in the same satirical manner.when acres appears and is questioned by absolute regarding Julia`s actions in the country side.acres replied that Julia has been enjoing herself througly and been having a gay time.now a normal lover would feel extremely happy to learn this.
We can expect the same reaction from Falkland because ha had assured absolute as he would feel good or happy.beyond messure.if he were something that Julia was hale and hearty.but his real reaction and quite different of greatly amuses us by its asserdity.
In both his interviews with Julia Falkland betrays the same absurdity.in very first interview,he complains to her of the mirth and gaiety that she as been enjoings during his absence.he wants to be loved for his own sake and for no particular reasons and he also expects her love to be fixed and ardent.inshort,his whole manner of talking to her and his soliloquies at the end of this scene reveals him in a still more comic light.
Another interview again shows him a ridiculous light.he subjects Julia to a test in order to convince himself of the sincearity of her love.the author`s intention is to depict the absurd length to which an over sentimental lover can go,and the author expects us to laugh at this kind of lover.
Even Julia supposes from an excessive sentimentality and she too is made to appear absurd and ridiculous for that reasons.the manner that she describes her lover to Lydia shows the kind of mentality that she has.in the second interview,with faukland,Julia is agan over flowing with emotions.we smile at the way she behaves,we are amused by her excess of sentimentality.we mock at the object surrender to her lover and her repeated practice to make up with him.
Lydia too is as an over sentimental girl but in a different way;and she also becomes the subject of ridicule in the play.her romantic ideas and romantic planning appear absure to us.she wants not the usual routine marriage but a ranagy marriage.now all this makes us laugh at her superficially and silliness.there absurd notions have been derived from her by her.the sentimentality and romantic stories to which she is addicted.the collapse of her romantic hopes disappoints her greatly but amuses as a good deal.
The manner in which the other character have been portrayed is even evidence of the anti sentimental characters of the play.captain absolute is a practical man through he assumed the name of the states of ensign Beverley.he would not like to forfeit the rich dowry which Lydia will bring him.mrs marlaprop is a conventional,practical woman whose attitude to marriage is business like sir antnomy too is a practical wordly man.bob acres is a country boor with no romantic or sentimental pretentions but towards the end of the play he shows that he is more practical than anybody else by saying:
If I can`t get a wife without fighting for her,by any valour,I will live a bechlor.
Then there is sir lucius who is absurd but not because of new sentimentality.one reason why he is absurd is because of his want to fight dules for the sake of any sentiments.
When sheriden himself fought a couple of dules for the sake of miss Elizabeth Linley,there was a stronge emotions behind them,but there we have a mockery of dueling and we are made of laugh at the manner in which these dules are arranged.
Anti sentimental comedy this forms is becomes popular with the comedies that were presented by Richard brinsley sheriden`s the rivals.other is school for scandle and oliver gold smith`s she stoops to conquare.it is kind of comedy representing complete and sophisticated code of behavior current in fashionable circle of society.
