Document Summary
Mirandolina: young woman who recently inherited an inn from her father. Dejanira: an actress who likes to scheme but always bursts out laughing. Marchese and conte are both visiting the inn because they both want to marry mirandolina. They are arguing over who is better fit; conte has money, marchese is not proud and has titles. Cavaliere over hears the men arguing and tells them that women are just a fatal disease. Marchese and conte are shocked that cavaliere does not want to marry and wants nothing to do with women. Mirandolina enters, marchese asks her to go to her room, she says no. Conte gives her a pair of diamond earrings. A jeweler comes by the inn and conte leaves; leaving marchese and mirandolina alone. Marchese says he wants to marry her and then leaves the room. Mirandolina gets bored of all these men that fall in love with her but doesnt understand why cavaliere treated her like that.
