Answer:

Love for Love by William Congreve is a comedy of intrigue because the complexity of the story is highlighted more so than the characters. Dramatic, ludicrous circumstances, intrigues, complex plans, secrets, and intense love relationships abound in this play.

Explanation:

Love for Love by William Congreve is a comedy of intrigue because the story complexity is highlighted rather than the characters. Dramatic, ludicrous circumstances, intrigues, complex plans, secrets, and intense love relationships abound in this play.

For instance, the main character, Valentine, who is accustomed to living in wealth and luxury, is compelled by his father to give his younger brother, Ben, his fortune in exchange for helping him pay off his various debts. He has pledged to give back 4,000 pounds in return. He makes several, futile attempts to use the circumstance to his advantage since he does not want to forfeit his inheritance.

The shrewd and rich Angelica, who is in love with Valentine, tries to toy around with his heart, ostensibly for fun, in order to determine if Valentine genuinely loves her as much as he professes to. She even agrees to "marry" Valentine's father, Sir Sampson, under the guise that she likes him.

Then there is Mistress Frail, who is far from frail and only becomes "romantically" interested in Ben after learning that he will inherit his father's wealth, Sir Sampson and Mr. Foresight, who are overjoyed about the arranged marriage between their children Ben and Prue primarily because it will combine their wealth, and the vain "womaniser" Tattle, who falls in love with Prue but unintentionally marries Mistress Frail instead.

Love for Love is definitely an intrigue comedy, which is further supported by all of the scenarios that these individuals directly or indirectly create.
