O Assassino de Macario: Comedia em tres actos by Camilo Castelo Branco
"O Assassino de Macario: Comedia em tres actos" by Camilo Castelo Branco is a comedic play written in the late 19th century. The story centers around Barnabé, a father who is trying to deal with his headstrong daughter Itelvina's romantic entanglements, particularly her desire to marry Macario. The plot unfolds through a series of humorous dialogues and situations that reveal family dynamics and the challenges of love and consent in a societal
context." The opening of this comedic play introduces us to Barnabé, who is preoccupied with his daughter Itelvina's unusual behavior and her desire to marry Macario, a man he disapproves of. Through witty exchanges with his servant Sebastiana, we learn about Barnabé's past, his daughter's fiery temperament, and their complicated family dynamics. Itelvina enters with a fiery attitude, having recently slapped a man who insulted her, showing her strong will. As the scene progresses, the audience sees Barnabé struggle with his daughter’s wishes against societal pressures, setting the stage for a tale of love, rebellion, and humor, all wrapped within the context of early 20th-century Portuguese culture.
