"Tres Comedias" by Jacinto Benavente is a collection of comedies written in the early 20th century. The volume features three distinct plays: "Sin Querer," "De Pequeñas Causas," and "Los Intereses Creados," showcasing Benavente's keen observations of Spanish society, particularly focusing on the relationships and social dynamics among characters. The plays often employ satire, reflecting societal absurdities and human behaviors with both humor and insight. The opening of "Tres Comedias" introduces the first play, "Sin Querer," where the characters Luisa and Pepe secretly discuss their parents' plan to engage them to one another, despite their lack of romantic affection. The lighthearted and comedic dialogue between them reveals their mutual reluctance to follow through with a marriage arranged by their families, instead fostering a genuine connection through candid conversation. The exploration of societal expectations and personal feelings sets the tone for Benavente's work, illustrating his ability to blend humor with deeper reflections on love and familial pressures, thus establishing engaging character dynamics right from the start.
