Context
Lydia has fled from Greece with her 49 sisters to escape an arranged marriage to her cousin, Nikos. She is of the mindset at the beginning of the play that she should not be forced to marry someone she does not love. Nikos and his 49 brothers fly to Italy to take home their brides, and Lydia starts to actually fall in love with Nikos. Nikos is kind and listens and gives her the choice to marry him or not. He is charming and she is conflicted about what she should do.
