What opinion do you have of Mirabell's trickery in pretending to love Lady Wishfort in order to marry Mrs. Millamant? Is this too far-fetched to be believable or is it a possibility? Explain your point of view using specific examples from the play.

Mirabell pretended to love Lady Wishfort to disguise his feelings for her niece Mrs. Millamant. Students may say that 'In my opinion, this is very far fetched and something hard to believe. I don't believe in autumn-summer romances.' or students may agree with Congreve that such a scenario is possible given that autumn-summer romances do occur.
