| Summary | "La Pupille" by Fagan is a comedic play written in the early 18th century. This piece reflects the theatrical styles and social dynamics of the French Rococo period. The story revolves around themes of love, societal expectations, and the complexities of marriage, as characters navigate romantic entanglements and the expectations from their guardians. The narrative centers on Julie, a young woman in the care of her guardian, Ariste, who is responsible for finding her a suitable husband. As various suitors, including the overly confident Marquis Valère, vie for her hand, Julie struggles with her true affections, which lie elsewhere. The interactions between the characters highlight misunderstandings and romantic desires, ultimately leading to a revelation about Julie's feelings and an agreement for her to marry Ariste, who has been quietly in love with her all along. The comedic elements arise from the misunderstandings and the light-hearted banter among the characters, making the play both entertaining and engaging.
