| 520 | _a"Marcela, o ¿a cuál de los tres? : Comedia original en tres actos" by Don Manuel Bretón de los Herreros is a comedic play written in the early 19th century. It’s a sparkling social satire set in Madrid, where the witty young widow Marcela is courted by three very different men—an ardent but shy poet (Don Amadeo), a boastful artillery captain (Don Martín), and a foppish dandy (Don Agapito)—while her loquacious uncle and sharp-tongued maid complicate the game. The likely focus is a battle of manners, ego, and sincerity as Marcela weighs charm, substance, and freedom in choosing “which of the three.” The opening of the play sets the tone with rapid-fire banter and comic contrasts inside Marcela’s home. Don Timoteo bickers with the maid over his treasured nativity figures, while Don Agapito flatters Marcela with sweets and airs; Don Amadeo arrives to pine in verse and begs Juliana’s help; and Don Martín bursts in, swaggering and talkative. After a garden stroll and a shared meal, Agapito tries to extract a “te quiero,” but Marcela cleverly sends him away for confections and privately coaxes Amadeo’s feelings from a timid letrilla, only for Martín to interrupt with a loud declaration that is itself cut short by the household sensation: the cat Clitemnestra has given birth. Soon after, Amadeo and Martín agree to compete openly for Marcela and to thwart Agapito. At the start of the third act, Timoteo urges Marcela to remarry (hinting at Martín), and Marcela receives three written proposals: Agapito’s syrupy letter, Amadeo’s humble sonnet, and Martín’s bluntly comic plea; undecided, she summons them all to return later for her answer.
