Answer 1

Answer:

Sir Roger de Coverly at the theatre is an essay by Joseph Addisson. Sir Roger expresses his desire of watching a good tragedy to Addison. they meet at spectator club, Sir Roger says that he has not watched any good play in the last 20 years and the last play he watched was a church of England comedy named 'Committe'. thus they plan to watch a good tragedy a story of Distress woman named Andromach. it is the classical tragedy that revolves around Hector's widow (Andromach). Knight is one of the friends of Roger and Addison he plans to take Captain Sentry for the play. thus Addison, Sir Roger, Knight, Captain Sentry along with a Butler and a servant takes their coach to the theatre. they get the ticket and a comfortable middle seat at the theatre, the play begins. Pyrrus(Son of Achilles who killed Hector in Trojan war) is the character that enters the stage first. at the end of every act Sir Roger passes comments about the characters and the scene to his friends. Sir Roger was not fond of the character Andromach who is the widow and he anxiously wonders what it would become of Pyrrus  who is after Andromach. on the other hand Knight adores the characters on the stage and he passes good comments about Andromach. Captain sentry nudge his friends not to be explicit in their comments about the characters on stage as two of the audience were keenly observing their conversation. at the fourth act Hector's ghost was expected on stage and Knight misunderstands a page for Astynax (Andromach& Hector's son). The play ends with Andromach killing herself and Pyrrus left to feel sorrow about his mistakes. the friends of the spectator club was the last to leave the theatre. they all leave the theatre with the satisfaction of watching a good tragedy. the friends escort Roger and drops him at his house safely in the coach.
