| Summary | "Œuvres complètes de Alfred de Musset — Tome 5" by Alfred de Musset is a collection of plays, including both comedies and dramas, written in the early to mid-19th century. This volume contains works that encapsulate the romantic themes and complexities of relationships typical of Musset's writing, exploring notions of love, jealousy, and societal expectations. The primary character introduced in this opening portion, Mathilde, is depicted as a thoughtful yet tumultuous figure, engaged in the intricate dynamics of her marriage and the emotional undercurrents tied to her relationships. The beginning of the volume introduces a one-act comedy titled "Un Caprice." In this act, we find Mathilde anxiously awaiting her husband, M. de Chavigny, while she prepares a secret gift—a hand-crafted purse—to surprise him. The scene unfolds in Mathilde's bedroom, highlighting her mixed emotions of excitement and apprehension. As she navigates her sentiments, interactions with her husband reveal underlying tensions in their relationship, accentuated by the entrance of Madame de Léry, who brings further complications with her gossip and teasing remarks. The dialogue explores themes of fidelity and the complexity of emotions within marriage as Mathilde grapples with feelings of jealousy and inadequacy, setting the stage for the unfolding drama surrounding their lives.
