The Aunt...
[edit]"fortunately, she is a bitter lady who hates Mirabell and wants her own nephew, Sir Wilful, to marry Millamant."
"fortunately" or "Unfortunately" ?? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 216.215.118.178 (talk) 19:12, 2 June 2009 (UTC)
Characters section of the article
[edit]"The play is based around the two lovers Mirabell and Millamant (originally famously played by John Verbruggen and Anne Bracegirdle). In order for the two to get married and receive Millamant's full dowry, Mirabell must receive the blessing of Millamant's aunt, Lady Wishfort. Unfortunately, she is a very bitter lady, who despises Mirabell and wants her own nephew, Sir Wilful, to wed Millamant."
This seems to be taken almost verbatim of the back of a printed edition of the play (ISBN 10: 161720-624-5): "The play is based around the two lovers Mirabell and Millamant. In order for the two to get married and receive Millamant's full dowry, Mirabell must receive the blessing of MIllamant's aunt, Lady Wishfort. Unfortunately, she is a very bitter lady, who despises Mirabell and wants her own nephew, Sir Wilful, to wed Millamant."
Shouldn't there at least be a source given if it is taken verbatim? — Preceding unsigned comment added by 96.239.62.129 (talk) 01:01, 28 February 2012 (UTC)
