How does Malatesta persuade Sofronia to leave Don Pasquale’s house?

Created from Britannica articles using AI. AI can make mistakes, so verify using Britannica articles.

In the opera Don Pasquale, Dr. Malatesta persuades "Sofronia" (who is actually Norina in disguise) to leave Don Pasquale’s house by manipulating the situation to make the prospect of staying unbearable for her.1

After Don Pasquale demands that "Sofronia" leave his house following a staged garden confrontation, she insists that the house belongs to her. To resolve this, Malatesta tells "Sofronia" that Norina—Ernesto’s betrothed—will be moving into the house to live with them after the wedding. Outraged at the thought of sharing her home with such a "hussy," "Sofronia" declares that she would rather leave than live under the same roof as Norina.1

Malatesta then uses this reaction to convince Don Pasquale that they must perform the marriage immediately so that "Sofronia" will finally consent to depart. This maneuver ultimately leads to the revelation that the original marriage was a sham, allowing the plot to conclude with the union of Norina and Ernesto.1
