| The Matchmaker is a romantic comedy which aims to seek human warmth in all human relationships. The play discusses the themes of marriage and money which are universal subjects that "repeat in the lives of millions." The characters in this play recognize the meaning of life through love, compassion and participation in life. The play also shows how one's wrong beliefs in the affairs of marriage and getting money, or one's pride and self-righteousness, sometimes, stand as an obstacle against one's happiness. This paper aims to shed the light on Wilder's view about marriage and money and how these two important subjects draw the individual's life.

The third point discusses the subjects of marriage and money in the play. The conclusion sums up the findings of the study | ||
