Added DiffLines:

* MarriageOfConvenience: Maria genuinely loves Vincenzo, but he admits privately to his sister that his attraction to her is because their family line is ending (his sister is infertile and widowed, and he is impotent) and she would make one last, final, beautiful and stylish countess for which the family will be remembered by. His sister upbraids him for leading Maria on and using her as an object, as she's a real woman with real feelings, but it's not enough to dissuade Vincenzo.
