From the Paper:
"Beaumarchais' play Figaro's Marriage was very controversial, and was banned by Louis XVI for three years, because it looked at class differences in a new, perhaps revolutionary way. The plot involves an aristocrat, Count Almaviva, who is tricked by his valet, Figaro, who is shown to be a better man than his master in almost every way. The play questioned the value of noble birth, praised self-determination, raised questions about sexuality and desire, and generally looked at the social order in a new and liberal fashion. In an even more interesting way, however, the play also seems to open up the world to women who, once the opportunity is presented, turn from being relatively passive, and limited to their own private spaces, to the active pursuit of their own interests in public."More papers on Figaro's Marriage:
