... "The Country Wife shows us that people's attitude towards love, sex and marriage have not changed in over 300 years" How far do you agree with this statement? The "Country Wife" is a 17th century drama set in the period when the restoration was evolving.

Throughout the "Country Wife", there are many references to love, marriage
