The purpose of the essay is to review Nature and Art shown through characters of The Man of Mode which is known to representative Restoration Comedy of England. Nature and Art is continuously shown firsthand or secondhand in the literature throughout every period. But this problem is especially remarkable in Restoration Period which Charles II brought the fashionable and corrupt culture to the Court and the upper-class. In those days, the aristocracy were depraved and they ran after worldly pleasure. The showing off, refined manners, and wit were more highly valued than inner virtue of man. So attitude of people is transformed into falsity, affectation, and hypocrisy. In such a period, it will be significant to review elements of Nature and Art in The Man of Mode which presume essential question of man. The substantial theme which defines Nature and Art was studied with binary elements of term which are mostly used in Restoration Comedy. The list of binary oppositions which plays the part of Nature/Art in this play is face/mask, fact/falsity , mind/words, reality/appearance, honesty/deceit , instinct/ manners, country/town, and passion/love. They sometimes play as the part of individual or unity which puts together both sides, too. Dorimant, hero has unity which puts together both sides. In other words, it is wit requested by Restoration Society. So, Dorimant who adequately uses Nature and An in his own way is a gentleman created by Restoration Society.
