Pinchwife

I wanted to a character analysis on Pinchwife from The Country Wife. I feel there is more to him than to be summed up in 'he is covetous of his wife'. From early, we find out that he doesn't like the city at all, and is only there because of some suit of law (lawsuit). It begs the question of what did he do to get it? As far as I'm aware, it's not said, at least in the first two acts. Could it have been something to do with his wife? He does seem very...obsessive? He even goes so far as to try and convince everyone that she's hideous and awkward. He even says that she's ill mannered and says that he won't teach her 'breeding' because the ignorant wife is the best. Although, with men like Horner about, it's hard to lay blame completely on him. He could be a little more lax with her however. Because we know he is older, he seems out of place because everyone else seems younger. Pinchwife seems to have more old fashioned views about women and marriage as do Horner and Harcourt. He also later goes on to talk about how much he hates fops. It makes me think that he holds the image and idea of a man highly. I can see him not liking fops because of how they dress and, to quote him, "Such as sped their Estates before they come to them are Cuckholds before they're married." He doesn't think them smart at all. Perhaps it their hair? Or their fashion? Or even how they act? Who knows. But then, Pinchwife makes a remark in act 2 that his lies he told above seems very close to his opinion on women. "Well, there is no being too hard for Women at their own weapon, lying, therefore I'll quit the Field." It was an offhand remark to clue us into his thoughts. With remarks like that, coupled with the lies he's spreading about her, and how he treats her to her face, the fops he hates so much seems like better men, because while they have ill intentions, they at least treat you like a smart human.
