La seconde surprise de l'amour

Two neighboring aristocrats are mourning a lost love and seem inconsolable. Their despair brings them closer together, but their pride prevents them from confessing their mutual love. The clumsy pressures of rivals and servants plunge them into an inextricable tangle. "La Seconde Surprise" is the second independent part of two comedies where Marivaux illustrates the explosive coexistence of touchiness and love.
