Morlock "The Triple Marriage" by Néricault Destouches is a theatrical play likely written during the early 18th century. This comedy explores the complications and intrigues that arise from romantic entanglements, specifically focusing on the lives of Mr. Matthews and his children as they navigate love and societal expectations. The play addresses themes such as familial duty, love against parental will, and the humorous mischief that ensues in pursuit of happiness. In the storyline, Mr. Matthews, a widower, is determined to secure marriages for his children Elizabeth and Walter but is unaware of their secret unions. Elizabeth is in love with Manly, and they have secretly married, while Walter is betrothed to Julia but faces pressure to marry the Countess. As they attempt to navigate their father's plans and societal expectations, they engage in playful deceptions and strategies to ensure they can be with their true loves. The chaotic interactions culminate in a masquerade ball where confessions and reconciliations occur, leading to a humorous resolution where both siblings find acceptance in their marriages while their father's own secret marriage is revealed. The light-hearted tone and comedic elements make this play an exploration of love's triumphs amid societal constraints.
