The story revolves around two brothers with contrasting views on marriage. The elder, Ariste, places his trust in his young wife and believes in treating women with respect. The younger, Sganarelle, is a misogynist who imprisons his young ward, Isabella, to prevent her from having any contact with the outside world. When Isabella falls in love with a young man named Valere, a battle of wills ensues. The author uses witty dialogue and farcical situations to explore the absurdity of arranged marriages and the societal expectations placed on women.
