Epicure Mammon is the most determined offspring of its author.

It has the whole "matter and copy of the father--eye, nose, lip, the trick of his frown." It is just such a swaggerer as contemporaries have described old Ben to be.

Meercraft, Bobadil, the Host of the New Inn, have all his image and superscription.

But Mammon is arrogant pretension personified.

Sir Samson Legend, in Love for Love, is such another lying, overbearing character, but he does not come up to Epicure Mammon.
