Summary: "Le Père Lebonnard : Comédie en 4 actes, en vers" by Jean Aicard is a comedic play written in the late 19th century. The narrative revolves around the character Lebonnard, an old horologist who straddles the line between his humble profession and the expectations of his family and society. The play explores themes of familial loyalty, the conflicts between personal desires and societal pressures, and the generational gap in values. The beginning of "Le Père Lebonnard" introduces us to the titular character in his workshop, busy with his horological tasks. He shares a tender moment with his daughter Jeanne, who has recently recovered from a serious illness. Lebonnard's affection for his children is palpable, setting the stage for conflicts that arise as his wife pushes for a more socially advantageous marriage for their daughter, while Lebonnard holds a different vision for Jeanne, favoring her feelings over social rank. As the act unfolds, we also meet several other characters, including his son Robert, who embodies a more modern, reckless attitude, and the women's insistence on marrying into noble families, highlighting the play's exploration of class and familial dynamics.
