Autorenporträt
Molière, the renowned French playwright Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622-1673), crafted a remarkable body of work that included timeless plays such as "The Imaginary Invalid" and "The Middle-Class Gentleman." These two plays exemplify Molière's comedic genius and his astute observations of human nature. The play follows the wealthy but perpetually sick Argan, who obsesses over his health and falls prey to quack doctors. Molière skillfully exposes the absurdities and contradictions of the medical field, highlighting the human tendency to seek attention and indulge in self-deception. Both plays showcase Molière's mastery of comedic techniques, including farce, wordplay, and physical comedy. Through his sharp wit and clever dialogue, Molière exposes human weaknesses and satirizes societal conventions, while providing audiences with laughter and entertainment. Molière's enduring popularity lies in his ability to blend humor with insightful social commentary.
