| Summary | The whole life of a man is staged in 'Mundus et Infans', as Child grows up into Manhood and succumbs to Folly in an exemplary morality play of transgression and redemption. The protagonist's progression through life is deftly delineated: beginning as 'Infans' - or 'Child' - he is renamed 'Dalliance', then 'Wanton' and then 'Love-Lust-Liking', before he matures into 'Manhood'. Mundus - or 'World' - invests him with a knighthood, but he fails to uphold chivalric values and is led astray from Conscience by Folly, an engaging and mocking villain, into a life of arrogance and debauchery. |
