Reading The Marriage of Figaro | Alexandria
Read The Marriage of Figaro by Pierre Beaumarchais. Exposing hypocrisy through laughter, Beaumarchais's Figaro sparked revolution by daring to mock nobility's inherited privilege - not with angry protests, but razor-sharp wit that cut deeper than violence. His radical notion? That servants could outwit masters, proving merit trumps birth. Today, his message still stings: true power lies in intellect, not status.
