| Summary |
"La ragione degli altri: Commedia in tre atti" by Luigi Pirandello is a play written in the early 20th century. The narrative revolves around Livia Arciani, a protagonist grappling with her troubled marriage to Leonardo Arciani, amidst themes of societal expectations, personal suffering, and the complexities of love and duty. The beginning of the play introduces Livia Arciani patiently waiting in the editorial office of a political newspaper while her absent husband, Leonardo, is the subject of discussion among other characters. As she interacts with Cesare D’Albis, a colleague, it becomes evident that there are tensions surrounding her marriage and her husband's commitment, particularly involving the presence of another woman. The atmosphere hints at underlying family conflicts and Livia's internal struggle with her identity as a wife and her societal role as she confronts her painful reality against the backdrop of her husband's indifference and her father's well-meaning interference.
