词条 Figaro
释义
Figaro
French literary character
comic character, a barber turned valet, who is the hero of Le Barbier de Séville (1775; The Barber of Seville) and Le Mariage de Figaro (1784; The Marriage of Figaro), two popular comedies of intrigue by the French dramatist Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (Beaumarchais, Pierre-Augustin Caron de). They are now best known in their operatic versions by Gioachino Rossini (1816) and Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (1786), respectively. In the earlier play Figaro, in the role of barber, is instrumental in the successful wooing of Rosine by Count Almaviva. In the later play Figaro attempts to keep his future wife from the clutches of his master, Almaviva, who wants to seduce her. Because they portray the abuse of power by aristocrats and related themes, both plays were censored; as a result, the character of Figaro—adroit, irrepressible, insubordinate—has accrued much symbolic value over the centuries. His name was adopted by a leading French newspaper, Le Figaro.
