Question

summary of Sir Roger at the Theatre by Joseph Addison

Answer 1

Renowned poet Joseph Addison has addressed a fictional friend of him with the name Sir Roger in his poem.

The character is quite strange in mannerism.

Sir Roger went to see a theatre with the narrator of the poem.

The play was a tragic one they went for.

Sir Roger reconciles that he never stepped in a theatre for the last twenty years.

The last time he went to a theatre was a total waste of money and time according to him.

He is also more curious about his friend's widow, That puts many layers to the character.
