312.
CHAPTER VI.
Mad Folk in Comedy and Tragedy.
(iii.) Melancholy.
*' Many new and old writers have spoken confusedly of it, confounding melancholy and madness." (Burton : '* Anatomy of Melancholy. ^^) The representation of " melancholy " and of the disease which we know as " melancholia " was extremely common in seventeenth century drama. Its popularity with playwrights of all kinds can be traced to several causes. In the first place it gave ample opportunity for intro- ducing poetry of no me...an order, which seems to have been more popular on the stage a few centuries ago than it is to-day. Then " melan- choly" was commonly associated with unre- quited love, and the sad lover has always been a favourite character both in comedy and in tragedy. Again, a hero or heroine afflicted with " melancholy " was, after all, in the seventeenth- century acceptation of the term, quite sane.
" Melancholy," then, became a kind of " humour " — as in the eyes of the mediaeval physician it literally had been — and it was not regarded in at all the same way as other species of mental disorder.
