The opening of the novel introduces the protagonist, an older man reflecting on his single life and the pressure to marry. He depicts a sense of frustration and humor about his situation as he interacts with his imaginary thoughts and outside opinions urging him to settle down. One particular evening, after an unsuccessful attempt to light a lamp, he visits a shoemaker's home, where he witnesses a festive celebration, which stirs memories and intensifies his feelings of loneliness and inadequacy. His inner dialogue reveals a mix of longing for companionship and reluctance to embrace the responsibilities of marriage, setting the stage for a comedic journey towards love and self-discovery.
