It is evidently the idea of marriage in the abstract that has attracted him. From the heedless way In which he accepts his fate, it appears to be immaterial whom he marries, Like all self-centred materlalists, he- wants to exclude others ‘from happiness, and when his nephew Ernesto ties to marry Norina he is furious. Ernesto has financial expectations from the old man’s will and is in a quandary. It is significant that the person who arranges the mock marriage between old Pasquale and Norina is his medical adviser, Dr. Malatesta. The old man thinks he is marrying a young girl straight from the convent, but in reality the bride is a lively widow. Once she has caught him she makes Don Pasquale’s life a torment, until, learning the truth, he joyfully agrees to @ real marriage between Norina and Ernesto, and makes them a marriage settlement into the bargain. 8.39 Lily Pons (soprano), "Bell Song" from " Lakme" Delibes |
