Interpretation Conducive To Books Le Malade imaginaire

Le Malade imaginaire est la dernière comédie et en même temps la dernière pièce écrite par Molière. Il s'agit d'une comédie-ballet en trois actes. Dans la satire outrageante de Molière sur la médecine et ses praticiens on peut dire que le riche Argan “jouit” d'une mauvaise santé. Les laxatifs, suppositoires, saignées, et les opinions deuxième et troisième des charlatans éminents sont à l'ordre du jour et l’enfer de Toinette, sa servante qui ose lui contredire. Sa fille Angélique est amoureuse de Cléante, mais Argan veut la marier à Thomas Diafoirus, un médecin qui ne vaut rien, qui peut assurer à son beau-père des soins de santé pour la durée de sa vie. Cléante se déguise en professeur de musique pour pouvoir voir son amour, mais Béline, la deuxième épouse d’Argan, menace de les dénoncer. Une Toinette déguisée, des sages conseils de son frère Béralde, et une scène de mort truquée, vont enfin montrer à Argan qui il peut faire confiance.

You know how they tell that some books are timeless? Well, I had to re-check Molière's birth and death years twice, just to make sure, because of how modern in the best sense of it the book reads. Such a fun play!

Shockingly witty! I wish I'd known about this play years ago.

This was the last piece from a dying Molière (the French Shakespeare for those who don't know who he is) and one of his masterpieces of irony. It was originally accompanied with music and a choreographed ballet. It is highly readable and comic and somewhat less misogynistic than his other works. It takes a sarcastic look at quack doctors and hypochondriacs and is well-loved, deservedly so, here in Paris where it is nearly always on stage somewhere.

I can scarcely believe that, as an undergraduate College student at Bradley University, I read this in the opriginal French, with comments that I made (sometimes in French, and sometimes in English) in the margins, as I explained what specific words might mean or what concepts might be relevant. This is a comedy, focusing on a hypochondriac, Argan. Making the original play more intriguing, the well known composer Marc-Antoine Chapentier provided music (or at least that's what my handwritten

They have been knowing the truth about doctors for so many centuries...

Argan is a hypochondriac who wishes his daughter Angelique to marry Thomas Diaforius. Not only is Thomas a doctor, but his father and uncle, Monsieur Purgon are also doctors. Angelique is in love with Cleante and refuses to marry the doctor. She would prefer to enter a convent rather than marry someone she does not love. Her stepmother would love for her to enter a convent because it means Angelique would not inherit and would have no children to inherit leaving more money for Beline. Argan's
