Résumé

Unlock the more straightforward side of The Misanthrope with this concise and insightful summary and analysis!

This engaging summary presents an analysis of The Misanthrope by Molière, a comedy of manners which satirises the hypocrisy and falseness of 17th-century aristocratic society in France. Alceste, the misanthrope of the title, prides himself on his total honesty and frankness, but this puts him at odds with the play’s other characters and the woman he loves, the beautiful but hypocritical Célimène. Although the play features many humorous situations, it also stands out for its more poignant elements and close attention to character development. The Misanthrope is widely considered to be a masterpiece, and today is one of Molière’s best-known works.  Molière, who also wrote Dom Juan, Tartuffe and The Miser, among other works, is viewed as one of France’s greatest authors, and his plays are still performed today.
