'Every Man Out of His Humour' Summary
The play follows the misadventures of a group of people who are all trying to find their place in the world. Some of them are looking for love, some for money, and some for fame. But all of them are ultimately disappointed in their search. The play ends with a moral: that everyone is out of his or her humour, and that the only way to find true happiness is to accept oneself for who one is.Book Details
