Beaumarchais’ The Marriage of Figaro is a lively and daring comedy that, beneath its playful tone, offers a sharp critique of eighteenth-century aristocratic society. Through romantic intrigues, misunderstandings, and Figaro’s irresistible energy, the play highlights themes of freedom, justice, and equality. With humor and subtlety, Beaumarchais celebrates the spirit of independence and foreshadows the social upheavals soon to come.
