In Così fan tuttte impressed with the huge symmetry of the characters and their relationships to each other. There would be an infinite number of ways to weigh them or characterize. This shows itself an essential feature of the play: it allows for different interpretations, is to fill the Nature of man, and leaves the circuit in a certain sense, consistently, but in some sense, in a peculiar way open. The symmetry, however, refers not only to the people and their actions, but also on the music. (For symmetry with regard to the musical numbers you see Paolo Mezzacapo and Liam Mac Gabhann, "... vi voliamo davanti ed ai lati e dal retro ...", 1991).
The symmetry of the personal constellations can also be expressed mathematically. Starting with a basic set (six persons), all characteristics and types of action in many subsets which are therefore all included in the basic set represent. There is no element outside this are circle, and could interfere. Thus, the following criteria are possible:
basic quantity:
six
subsets
two sexes:
man - woman
(Don Alfonso, Guglielmo, Ferrando) - (Despina, Dorabella, Fiordiligi)
lovers:
two - two - two
(Dorabella + Fernando, + Guglielmo Fiordiligi) - (+ Dorabella Guglielmo, Fiordiligi and Ferrando) - (Dorabella + Fernando, + Guglielmo Fiordiligi), respectively. (+ Dorabella Guglielmo, Fiordiligi and Ferrando)
relation to love: loving
active - passive lover
(Dorabella, Fiordiligi, Guglielmo, Ferrando) - (Despina, Don Alfonso)
Age:
youth - age
Social position:
two classes
(Fiordiligi, Dorabella, Ferrando, Guglielmo) - (Don Alfonso, Despina)
relation to the examination:
knowing - ignorant
(Don Alfonso, Guglielmo, Ferrando) - (Despina, Dorabella, Fiordiligi)
relationship to the test
scammers - betrayed
(Don Alfonso, Guglielmo, Ferrando) - (Despina, Dorabella, Fiordiligi)
activity :
subject - object
(Don Alfonso, Guglielmo, Ferrando) - (Despina, Dorabella, Fiordiligi)
Così fan tutte can thus be regarded as a section of reality than a dense microcosm.
