This one-act piece revolves around the themes of virtue and marriage, examining societal expectations and the nature of relationships through witty dialogue and humor. Möser's work critiques the perceptions of women in the theater and the delicate dance between love and public opinion. In the play, the main character, Harlekin, seeks to marry Kolombine, the daughter of the stage director, Mr. Barthold. Throughout the dialogue, Harlekin expresses his anxieties about Kolombine's innocence and her perceived promiscuity as a performer, which he fears might taint their union. The comedic plot unfolds through a series of misunderstandings and role-playing, ultimately leading to a mock marriage ceremony where characters evaluate virtue, trust, and the realities of love within the constraints of societal judgment. As the characters navigate their abilities to portray sincerity and honor in their relationships, the play cleverly conveys insights on trust and the nature of appearance versus reality in romantic pursuits.
