"Marianne, Fantasio, Don't Trifle With Love, The Candlestick, A
Diversion, A Door Must be Open or Shut, You Can't Think of
Everything The seven plays in this collection share a light-hearted
tone, though with occasional and unexpected moments of seriousness.
In Marianne, a confirmed cynic intercedes with a married woman on
behalf of his best friend. In the eponymous hero of the modern
'fairy tale' Fantasio, by turns imaginative, abrupt and perceptive,
Musset provides us with a compelling self-portrait. Don't Trifle
with Love shows the dangerous strategems of two childhood
sweethearts, supposedly destined for marriage. In The Candlestick,
an infatuated clerk is set up as a decoy by his employer's young
wife and her lover. The one-act plays A Diversion, A Door Must be
Open or Shut and You Can't Think of Everything deal, in witty,
epigrammatic style, with various aspects of romance: a wife and her
friend test her husband's fidelity, or lack of it; a man wants to
propose to his bantering, blase hostess; and a couple in love, one
absent-minded, the other forgetful, tries to concentrate long
enough to get married."
