| Summary | "El sí de las niñas" by Leandro Fernández de Moratín is a comedic play written in the early 19th century. The story is set in Spain and explores the themes of arranged marriages and the contrast between youthful innocence and adult desires. The main characters include Don Diego, who is pursuing a young bride, Doña Francisca, and her mother, Doña Irene, both of whom are caught in the expectations of society. The opening of the play introduces the setting at an inn in Alcalá de Henares and presents the characters' dialogue, revealing Don Diego's plans to marry Doña Francisca, a girl he has recently met after rescuing her from a convent. Don Diego, in his advanced age, is eager to secure the marriage but is also aware of societal expectations surrounding the age difference. As the story unfolds, there are hints of Doña Francisca's own feelings and the looming challenge posed by other potential suitors, particularly her youthful love, Don Carlos, setting the stage for a comedy of misunderstandings and emotional entanglements.
