Misanthrope. The Miser. The School for Wives

The names of Molière's characters — the miser Harpagon, the deceiver Tartuffe, and others — have long become household names and are encountered everywhere.

This is why the comedies of the great French playwright remain relevant.

Harpagon is so miserly, even though he is not poor, that he chooses an economical bride and tries to marry his daughter off to a wealthy old man. However, his loved ones do not agree to put up with this situation…
Alceste — a misanthrope, he hates high society, considering all its inhabitants to be intrigueres. But here’s the irony: his lady love is a true socialite and does not wish to give up her accustomed circle…
Arnolphe believes he has found a way to avoid his wife's infidelity: to make a completely young, inexperienced girl his spouse. However, that's not the case: the bride loves someone else and does not want to adhere to the long list of tedious rules…
