The Barber of Seville and the Marriage of Figaro are well known in their operatic form. But few know they were originally stage plays. They are delightful comedies - at times almost slapstick. I laughed out loud reading them. The servants and women always triumph over the high ranking men.
The third play, The Guilty Mother, continues with some of the same characters. However, the tone is quite different. In this play, the noble servant Figaro once again schemes to help his master. The gaiety of the first two play is gone. This play has a somber tone. Still, it is worth reading to round out the trilogy.

This book is amazing! I loved the wit and the plot is just so fun and full of funny misunderstandings and antics. I definitely recomend this!

Me gustaría poder darle una calificación más alta pero parte de la gracia del teatro es que se tiene que representar (lo más cercano a eso ha sido ver la ópera de Las bodas de Fígaro), y sin ese aspecto presente...la historia se queda un poco coja. Aún así la recomiendo porque es una historia divertida y fácil de leer (la trilogía, la última obra en concreto es un poco agobiante lol).

*Read for class.
Wow, I've actually enjoyed it! The characters were amazing, and this is exactly the type of comedy I love. It actually made me chuckle a couple of times.
Plus, Suzanne was fucking great and had some of the best comebacks! And was a little bit feminist-ish. Sort of. In a way. Figaro was also cunning and funny, so I appreciated him a lot.
Overall, very glad I haven't decided to skip this one.
