Carlo Goldoni (1707-1793), an Italian playwright, created the "comedy of characters." Utilizing the dynamics of Commedia dell’arte, he cultivated a unique writing style and was interested in human relationships and their characteristics.

His works are dominated by a strong anti-clerical spirit, a satirical disposition, and a critique of arrogance, haughtiness, abuse of power, and lack of honesty and dignity.

Truffaldino is the servant of two masters; cunning and resourceful, he proves to be the master of the masters through a series of confusions and hilarious situations. TRUFFALDINO: How wonderful! People everywhere seek a master, and I have found two. What the devil should I do? And I can't serve both. Can’t I? And why not? Wouldn’t it be nice to work for both, earn two wages, and eat double? It would be sweet if they didn't smell it.
