Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. This book is a delightful one-act play that humorously explores love, fidelity, and jealousy. Written in 1880, the author's witty dialogue and farcical characters give a glimpse into societal attitudes and romantic comedies of the time. The play centers around a married couple, Anita and Pantaleà n, and their domestic drama when Pantaleà n believes his wife is having an affair with a man named Mariano. The notion of 'crimes of passion' is explored in a comical way as the plot thickens with misunderstandings, mistaken identities, and romantic chaos. This play offers a delightful combination of satire and slapstick humor, providing a glimpse into 19th-century Spanish society, gender dynamics, and the universal follies of the human heart.
