  • Description: Analysis of El sí de las niñas predominantly centres on the topics of unequal marriage and the characters of doña Irene y don Diego. Yet the person who proves to be the winner at the end, in spite of the suffering which the spectator (or reader) observes, is doña Francisca whose on-going emotional predicament is set out by Moratín and can be subtly appreciated in its development throughout the three acts of this so-called «comedy». The analysis put forward in this article focuses on the point of view of the mature girl, entailing a detailed interpretation of the ups and downs of the action as the plot advances; it focuses on the nature of doña Francisca’s reactions and thoughts at each stage of the work’s unfolding. By the end it might be thought to be a «feminist» reading of the drama, one which vindicates the role of the long-suffering girl and her capacity to resist pressure from her mother and would-be suitor in order to marry the man she loves.
