| Summary | "The Interlude of Wealth and Health" by Anonymous is a play written during the late 16th century. This work falls under the category of interlude, a type of theatrical performance popular in England at that time. The play explores themes of wealth, health, and liberty, highlighting their interconnectedness and the moral implications of each in the context of society. The plot centers on a dialogue between the personifications of Wealth and Health, with the former boasting of its importance in society while the latter warns of the transience of material riches without good health. As the characters debate, they bring in Liberty, who adds further complexity to their discussions. Another significant character, Remedy, enters to offer guidance and support, implying that the balance of these aspects is crucial for true well-being and happiness. The play ultimately serves as a moral lesson emphasizing the importance of prioritizing health and virtue over mere material wealth, encouraging a harmonious existence among these essential elements of life.
