The Marriage of Figaro

Style and Technique

«The Marriage of Figaro» by Pierre Beaumarchais is written in the comedy genre, combining elements of farce and satire. The style of the work is characterized by lively and dynamic dialogues, wit, and irony. The language of the play is rich with puns, wordplay, and sharp aphorisms. Literary devices include the use of masks and disguises, creating comedic situations and advancing the intrigue. The structure of the play is traditional for 18th-century comedies: it consists of five acts, each divided into scenes. At the center of the plot are the complex relationships between characters, revealed through dialogues and actions, as well as through the internal monologues of the heroes. Beaumarchais masterfully uses dramaturgical techniques such as exposition, complication, climax, and resolution to create tension and hold the audience's attention.
