The contrast of city life to country life is shown in Congreve's metaphor of Miss Prue and Mr. Tattle. Miss Prue's biological urges are too forthright for Mr. Tattle, who is accustomed to cunning games of seduction and behind-the-scenes activity. The plotting of Mrs. Frail will no doubt undermine the unsuspecting country bumpkin, Miss Prue.
