Summary: Comus is a masque written by John Milton in 1634. It is a dramatic allegory based on classical myth, celebrating the triumph of virtue and the preservation of innocence. The story follows a Lady, who is lost in a forest and is captured by Comus, the god of revelry and indulgence. Comus, with the help of his followers, tries to corrupt her with enchantments, tempting her into immoral behavior. However, the Lady’s virtue remains intact, aided by her faith and inner strength. Her brothers, with the help of the Attendant Spirit, rescue her, and the masque concludes with a celebration of chastity, the triumph of virtue over vice, and the moral lessons of temperance and self-control. Comus explores themes of temptation, the power of virtue, and the consequences of indulgence, as well as Milton’s belief in the importance of inner strength and reason.
