Résumé

"The Old Debauchees" is a comedic play written by Henry Fielding, a prominent English playwright and novelist of the 18th century. The play revolves around the antics of two elderly gentlemen, Sir Harry Harlow and Sir Jasper Fidget, who are notorious for their dissolute lifestyles and debauched behavior. As the title suggests, the play satirizes the folly and excesses of aging libertines who refuse to let go of their youthful vices. Despite their advancing years, Sir Harry and Sir Jasper continue to indulge in drinking, gambling, and pursuing young women, much to the dismay of their families and associates. Fielding uses humor and wit to highlight the absurdity of their behavior and to underscore the consequences of leading a life of dissipation. Through the misadventures of the two protagonists, the play explores themes of morality, aging, and the pursuit of pleasure at the expense of personal integrity. "The Old Debauchees" is a lively and entertaining work that showcases Fielding's skill as a playwright and his keen observations of human nature. It remains a valuable contribution to the genre of comedy of manners and continues to be performed and studied for its wit, satire, and insight into the foibles of human behavior.
