Book Description
A detailed introduction to Molière and his plays, this Companion evokes his own theatrical career, his theatres, patrons, the performers and theatre staff with whom he worked, and the various publics he and his troupes entertained with such success. It looks at his particular brands of comedy and satire. L'École des femmes, Le Tartuffe, Dom Juan, Le Misanthrope, L'Avare and Les Femmes savantes are examined from a variety of different viewpoints, and through the eyes of different ages and cultures. The comedies-ballets, a genre invented by Molière and his collaborators, are re-instated to the central position which they held in his œuvre in Molière's own lifetime; his two masterpieces in this genre, Le Bourgeois gentilhomme and Le Malade imaginaire, have chapters to themselves. Finally, the Companion looks at modern directors' theatre, exploring the central role played by productions of his work in successive 'revolutions' in the dramatic arts in France.

The Middle-Class Gentleman ( Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme)
Author: Moliere
Publisher:
ISBN: 9789358592047
Category : Drama
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The Middle-Class Gentleman written by Molière in 1670, is a delightful comedy that satirizes social climbing and the pretensions of the middle class. The play revolves around Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy tradesman who dreams of becoming an aristocrat and immersing himself in the trappings of high society. Through hilarious encounters with various characters, including a philosopher, a music master, and a master of arms, Jourdain's naivety and gullibility are laid bare. The play cleverly explores themes of social ambition, class distinction, and the notion that true nobility cannot be bought or imitated. Molière's witty dialogue and comedic timing add to the play's charm, providing audiences with uproarious laughter while offering a sharp critique of societal conventions. This story remains a timeless work, resonating with audiences across generations. Molière's astute observations of human folly and his masterful blend of satire and humor make this play a true comedic gem, continuing to entertain and enlighten readers about the foibles of social pretensions.
