Figaro is preparing to marry Susanna and measures the room the Count has offered them. After Susanna explains that the Count is pursuing her, Figaro becomes angry but continues navigating the household’s schemes. Marcellina’s claim threatens to force him to marry her unless he can repay his debt, putting his wedding plans at risk.
