" (Act 2, scene 3, line 165). Etherege also mocks Loveit by giving her said name, suggesting that she is a sex-craving women who is overcome by her desires for pleasure and affection. This also leads the audience to disrespect her. Etherege is able to effectively use Loveit as both an example a women who is used to satisfy man's desire for sexual pleasure, and as being naive and fooled into thinking that she is truly loved. Eventually, this prompts Loveit to seek revenge against Dorimant. In the end, however, Loveit's obsession with Dorimant is what forces Dorimant away from her and repels his affection for her. .
Through Mrs. Loveit alone, Etherege is able to establish women as being slaves to men and their sexual pleasures. Because of their lust, passion, and desire to keep their reputation, the women in "The Man of Mode" are easy targets for men like Dorimant, who use their wit, charm, and humor to seduce them for their own gratitude. .
Later on in the play, Etherege uses Bellinda to fortify his theory of male dominance and superiority. Etherege first introduces Bellinda as "A lady mask'd in a pretty dishabille whom Dorimant entertain'd with more respect, than the Gallants do a Common Vizard." (Act 2, Scene 2, Line 97-99). Almost immediately upon meeting Dorimant, Bellinda allows him to use her in whichever way he pleases. Even though Bellinda witnesses Dorimant's use of her friend Mrs. Loveit, she still believes that one day Dorimant will be faithful to her. Etherege hits on the point of a women's blinded love from uncontrollable infatuation when Bellinda faces the reality that she is just another one of Dorimant's trophy. She realizes that for him, she is just another women for meaningless sex. Even so, she succumbs herself to Dorimant and becomes just another one of his trophies. .
By contrasting Loveit and Bellinda, Etherege is able to show the audience the different forms of oppression that the women in the play feel.
