The Comical Revenge; Or, Love In A Tub is a 1664
Restoration Comedies. The play holds importance for the literary historian for Etherege's employment of two separate language styles.[1]
The style employed in the verbal sparring between Sir Frederick and the Widow would set the standard for the language of the Restoration comedy. The subtitle refers to the comical subplot which deals with the locking up of Dufoy, servant of Sir Frederick, in a tub by the chambermaids Betty and Lettice.
