Molière 1622-1673 creator Chasles, Philarète 1798-1873 text utu 2013 monographic fr 1 online resource : multiple file formats "Œuvres complètes, Tome 2" by Molière is a collection of theatrical works written in the 17th century. This volume includes plays that reflect the societal norms and personal dynamics of Molière's time, particularly focusing on themes of love, marriage, and the contrasts between youth and age. One of the featured works is "L'École des maris," which explores the tensions between strict guardianship and the desires of young lovers. At the start of "L'École des maris," we are introduced to Sganarelle and Ariste, two brothers with opposing views on love and the freedoms of young women. Sganarelle represents strict control and traditional values, wishing to confine their ward, Isabelle, to a life of obedience. In contrast, Ariste advocates for a more lenient approach, supporting Isabelle's independence and wishes. As the plot unfolds, Isabelle finds herself caught between the rigid expectations of Sganarelle and her own wishes, which stir the arrival of her suitor, Valère. The opening scenes set the stage for a humorous exploration of love's complexities and the clash of generational values in romantic relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
