Una obra de lectura ágil, interesante para conocer o reconocer las ideas de la época sobre el honor, las cuales prevalecen contra toda lógica y razón. Los personajes actúan de forma predecible, obligados por las convenciones de la época y viven vidas que los hacen miserables en nombre del honor, cuya defensa justifica cualquier cosa.

Very funny, compelling characters but very of the period, not much relevancy to today's time
