About This Book

Un tutor de edad avanzada decide desposar a su joven pupila, pero ella prefiere a un pretendiente más acorde a su afecto; mediante equívocos, intervenciones de parientes y criados, y escenas satíricas, la obra critica los matrimonios concertados y la hipocresía social. Presenta confrontaciones entre interés económico, vanidad familiar y voluntad personal, defendiendo el valor de la razón, el consentimiento y el cariño en el matrimonio. Compuesta como comedia en tres actos con ritmo ágil y diálogo agudo, combina humor y apelaciones morales para cuestionar costumbres sociales.
