    About this ebook

    The Orphan; Or The Unhappy Marriage by Thomas Otway is a compelling and dramatic tragedy about a love triangle involving the spellbinding Monimia and the noble Castalio and his brother, Polydore. Excerpt: "Mon. I would not have 'em, by my dearest hopes; I would not be the argument of strife. But surely my Castalio won't forsake me, And make a mockery of my easy love! Went they together?"
