The narrative centers on Léonard Botal, a judge who finds himself in distress after marrying Catherine, a mute woman. As the story unfolds, it explores themes of communication and marital dynamics, highlighting the comedic challenges that arise from Léonard's desire for conversation in his relationship. In the play, Léonard, initially proud of his marriage to a beautiful and affluent woman, soon realizes the disadvantages of having a mute wife, particularly in his role as a judge where communication is vital. Encouraged by a friend, he seeks a remedy for her muteness, leading to the intervention of a celebrated doctor who successfully grants Catherine the ability to speak. However, her newfound verbosity is overwhelming for Léonard, who struggles to cope with the constant chatter. The situation escalates comically as Léonard attempts to regain his peace, ultimately leading to a humorous and chaotic conclusion where his own frustration turns the tables, suggesting that sometimes silence can be more desirable than endless conversation.
