About this Quote

This quote by Ben Jonson suggests that females who are excessively worried about their physical appearance are typically less concerned with the upkeep of their home. This could be translated as a criticism of women who prioritize their physical look over other elements of their lives. It could also be interpreted as a commentary on the societal expectations placed on ladies to be appealing and well-groomed. Jonson indicates that these expectations can result in an overlook of other essential aspects of life, such as preserving a tidy and orderly house. This quote might likewise be interpreted as a tip to women to not end up being too preoccupied with their physical look, and to rather concentrate on other elements of their lives. Eventually, this quote functions as a pointer to women to not become too focused on their physical look, and to rather concentrate on other elements of their lives.
