| Potter's Field, Or The Gentleman With The Black Humor: A Tragedy In Five Acts is a play written by Aristophanes in 1873. The play tells the story of a wealthy gentleman named Potter, who has a twisted sense of humor and enjoys making fun of people. He is also obsessed with death and spends much of his time visiting the local Potter's Field, a graveyard for the poor and unknown. The play is set in ancient Greece and explores themes of class, death, and morality. It is divided into five acts and features a cast of characters including Potter, his wife, his son, and various members of the lower class. The play is a tragedy, and as such, it has a dark and somber tone throughout. Potter's Field, Or The Gentleman With The Black Humor is known for its satirical commentary on the upper class and their attitudes towards death and poverty. It is also notable for its use of black humor, which was uncommon in plays of the time. The play has been praised for its sharp wit and clever wordplay, as well as its exploration of complex moral issues. Overall, Potter's Field, Or The Gentleman With The Black Humor is a thought-provoking and engaging play that offers a unique perspective on life and death in ancient Greece.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
