Description Concering 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.

Criticism Of Books Le Malade imaginaire

A light-hearted comedy about hypochondria but the authors disrespect for and distrust of doctors is really outdated.

This was a very funny play and I enjoyed reading it. It's also interesting to read theatre from the immediate post-Shakespearean era. I especially enjoyed the subversion of gender roles and feminist undertones.

The play itself is amusing; the story of a hypochondriac who would either see his daughter married to a quack young doctor or in a convent to please his enabling second wife. But its place in history is quite astounding...From Wikipedia Molière suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis, possibly contracted when he was imprisoned for debt as a young man. One of the most famous moments in Molière's life was his last, which became legend: [1673] he collapsed on stage in a fit of coughing and

This was a nice read and still stikes a cord even with today's advances in medicine. Molière must have really hated doctors towards the end of his life if he used his name directly in the play on the side opposed to the profestion.

Once you had read L'Avare and Tartüf you know everything that it's going to happen here.

The Hypochondriac is Richard Beans version of Molieres The Imaginary Invalid, as literally translated by Chris Campbell. I write that because it is important to understand that this is a modern vernacular revision of the original play. And that is not a bad thing. I have seen The Imaginary Invalid and The Hypochondriac in professional performances, and I enjoyed the latter over the former.I read The Hypochondriac after greatly enjoying a performance at the Stratford Festival. I laughed a lot,

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