Molière

"El Misántropo" es una creación singular para la época. Los personajes principales de la obra pertenecen a la aristocracia, pero su comportamiento no sirve, como en las tragedias clásicas inspiradas en las monarquias e imperios, para resaltar las virtudes de la nobleza. "El Misantropo" hace funcionar un salon aristocratico en donde se debate el juego de las apariencias o de la hipocresia.Alcestes, el enamorado atrabiliario, es un heroe ambiguo y, como todos los heroes, la invulnerabilidad de sus normas eticas se ve amenazada por el punto vulnerable de sus sentimientos amorosos. Un coro de intrigantes, fatuos, hipocritas, chismosos y vanos cortesanos actua como contrapunto de Alcestes, y las figuras de Filinto y Elianta constituyen el puente de prudencia y sabiduria, como portavoces del propio Moliere.

ARM. What! Sister, you will give up the sweet and enchanting title of maiden? You can entertain thoughts of marrying! This vulgar wish can enter your head!HEN. Yes, sister.ARM. Ah! Who can bear that "yes"? Can anyone hear it without feelings of disgust?HEN. What is there in marriage which can oblige you, sister, to.ARM. Ah! Fie!HEN. What?ARM. Fie! I tell you. Can you not conceive what offence the very mention of such a word presents to the imagination, and what a repulsive image it offers to the thoughts? Do you not shudder before it? And can you bring yourself to accept all the consequences which this word implies?HEN. When I consider all the consequences which this word implies, I only have offered to my thoughts a husband, children, and a home; and I see nothing in all this to defile the imagination, or to make one shudder.ARM. O heavens! Can such ties have charms for you?

Amphitryon was played for the first time in Paris, at the Theatre du Palais-Royal, January 13, 1668. It was successfully received, holding the boards until the 18th of March, when Easter intervened. After the re-opening of the theatre, it was played half a dozen times more the same year, and continued to please.The first edition was published in 1668.Note: It is perhaps hardly necessary to refer the reader to Amphitryon, by Plautus, the comedy upon which Molieres charming play was, in the main, based. The rendering attempted here can give but a faint reflection of the original, for hardly any comedy of Molieres loses more in the process of translation.Le Medecin Volant seems to have been acted for the first time in Paris, on the 18th of April, 1659. Parts of it were reproduced in LAmour Medecin, and Le Medecin malgre lui.Moliere acted the part of Sganarelle.

This play was acted for the first time on September 9, 1668. In it, Moliere has borrowed from Plautus, and has imitated several other authors, but he far surpasses them in the treatment of his subject. The picture of the miser, in whom love of money takes the place of all natural affections, who not only withdraws from family intercourse, but considers his children as natural enemies, is finely drawn, and renders Molieres Miser altogether more dramatic and moral than those of his predecessors.Moliere acted the part of Harpagon.
