On the day of the wedding between Luís Duarte and Carlota Lemos, Machado de Assis invites the reader to take an ironic look behind the scenes of the ceremony and the social machinery of Rio's bourgeoisie. Among vain guests, protocol speeches and theatrical gestures, the story reveals, with subtle humor, the predefined roles that men and women play on this great stage called society.
