Özet:

The tradition of Italian theatre does not only have a significant place in the tradition of European theatre and has also affected the improvement of the art of theatre with the reform taking place at Commedia dell'arte in the 18th century. Carlo Goldoni, living in the 18th century, became the pioneer in accepting the changes by implementing these revolutionary changes in theatre. With his works, he brought fundamental changes to the tradition of theatre, in other words, he made a reform. In The Mistress of the Inn, one of his pre-eminent works, it is possible to see the values of that century, which are to be represented, to live in justice and to support equality for different people from different ways of life, and these values are the most fundamental virtues of the Enlightenment. The protagonist of the work is a woman and this becomes successful in going beyond the notion of the era with this important aspect. In addition, with the protagonist and with the other characters, the aristocratic class are criticized and the bourgeois class, people dealing with trade and people becoming rich are praised. Because the bourgeois society makes fun of with the backwardness of the aristocratic class by using their mind. This work does not only include sociological elements but also includes the virtues and novelty which Goldoni contributed to the art of theatre as a reformist theatre that has a text, fluctuant characters and has no masks.
