What is a "viaticum’’?
Some of the characters in the play are concerned with the right of a person to be allowed their
viaticum. The term is generally used by the Catholic Church and is also referred to as the Holy
Communion a person receives just before they die. The practice was so important for the family
of the dying person and for the priest that in some cases, when the dying person expired before
a priest could arrive, food was put into the dead person’s mouth. The reason why this was so
important for many people is because they linked their salvation to the act of receiving the last
rites. This gave them the assurance their soul will be accepted in heaven and thus not forced to
suffer for eternity. The state of a person’s soul is one of the major themes in the play and thus it
is no surprise that the characters express an interest in the fate of their soul after death as well.

What are the "humors’’ mentioned in the play and why are they significant?
The humors are a theory from medieval and Renaissance thought. According to the humors
theory, in every human body can be found four liquid elements which have to be in perfect
balance with one another for a person to be healthy. Illnesses were considered as being the
result of an excess or lack of humors and the doctors of the day tried to bring back the balance
by using different methods such as blood-letting or excessive sweating. The four humors were
blood, yellow bile, black bile and phlegm, and they was also linked with the personality traits a
person had. Certain afflictions were linked with the excess of humors and it was believed that for
example, someone who had an excess of black bile was depressed while someone who had an
excess of yellow bile was extremely aggressive. This theory is also mentioned by many
characters in the play as being the reason why many characters behave in one way or another.

How do Edward and Wellbred perceive Brainworm and his disguises?


Brainworms many disguises are not annoying or cumbersome to Edward and Wellbred; rather,
they are impressed with him. They see why he's doing what he's doing, that it works in their
self-interest, and that it indicates a wit and adaptability that they also value. Matthew Kendrick
suggests that Brainworm's behavior is "increasingly depicted as a form of skilled labor rather
than as idleness or unwillingness to labor. In marked contrast to Knowell's moralistic
condemnation, Edward and Wellbred express genuine respect for Brainworm's protean
deception."
What are the various follies of Jonson lampoons?
Jonson presents characters who embody the traits of hotheadedness, braggadocio, jealousy,
and irrationality. Bobadil and Stephen and Matthew are quick to take offense even when there is
none, and are desirous of fighting. Bobadil boasts of his prowess as a soldier but clearly has no
skills. Matthew boasts of his skills as a poet but is proven a plagiarizer. Stephen is immature
and volatile, and shows that he does not at all deserve to be Knowell's heir. Kitely's misplaced
jealousy nearly destroys his relationship with his wife and leads him to doubt his trusted servant.
Knowell's assumptions about his son are groundless and lead to fissures, albeit minor, in their
relationship.

Why is Knowell so concerned for his son?


Knowell is not too different from many parents who assume that their child is associating with
the wrong people, or behaving in deleterious ways. He thinks Wellbred and his associates are
louche gallants, that they are not serious, that they are too given to games and smoking and
carousing. He wants Edward to be a moral, upstanding young man. The issue is, of course, that
Knowell is old-fashioned and his advanced years preclude him from desiring to understand his
son. He doesn't distinguish between youthful fun and legitimately bad behavior, and as Clement
tells him blatantly, there's no real issue with Edward. By the end of the play it seems like
Knowell has come to at least somewhat of an acceptance of this fact.
