In 'Three Plays' by Luigi Pirandello, the reader is taken on a captivating journey through three distinct stories that delve into the complexities of human nature and the blurred lines between reality and illusion.

The second play follows the life of a woman who becomes entangled in a web of deceit and manipulation, questioning the authenticity of her relationships.
