Citat:Pierre-Augustin Caron de Beaumarchais (24 January 1732 – 18 May[1] 1799) was a watchmaker, inventor, musician, politician, fugitive, spy, publisher, arms dealer, and revolutionary (both French and American). He was best known, however, for his theatrical works, especially the three Figaro plays.
. . .
Beaumarchais's Figaro plays comprise Le Barbier de Séville, Le Mariage de Figaro, and La Mère coupable. Figaro and Count Almaviva, the two characters Beaumarchais most likely conceived in his travels in Spain, were (with Rosine, later the Countess Almaviva) the only ones present in all three plays. They are indicative of the change in social attitudes before, during, and after the French Revolution. Figaro and Almaviva first appeared in Le Sacristan, which he wrote around 1765 and dubbed "an interlude, imitating the Spanish style."
