Summary

Molière's 'The School for Husbands' is a comedic play that delves into the theme of marital relationships, highlighting the differing views on marriage during the 17th century. The play is written in the style of a classical French comedy, incorporating witty dialogue and exaggerated characters to entertain the audience. Molière uses the concept of a 'school' for husbands as a backdrop to explore the dynamics of power, control, and trust within marriage, providing a satirical commentary on societal norms of that time. The play's emphasis on personal growth and self-awareness reflects the Enlightenment ideals prevalent in Molière's works. 'The School for Husbands' continues to be a timeless piece of literature that offers insight into human relationships and societal expectations. It is a must-read for those interested in classic French literature and the evolution of comedic theatre.
