Because young Moliere was expected to inherit his father's court position and trade, he was given an excellent education as he was expected to spend his life in court surrounded by nobility.

Babasý sarayýn mobilya ve döþeme iþlerini yapmaktaydý. Küçük yaþtan itibaren iyi bir eðitim gördü. Ýlk öðrenimini tamamladýktan sonra Cizvit papazlarýnýn yönetiminde olan Clermont Koleji'ne girdi. Burada klasik eðitim gördü. Yunanca ve Latince'yi öðrenerek eski Roma kültürü hakkýnda önemli bir birikime sahip oldu. Descartes'ýn muhalifi olan Grassendi'den de felsefe derslerini aldý. Aldýðý eðitim ve soylu sýnýfýnýn ahlâk anlayýþýna uymayýp, oyunculuðu ve eleþtirmenliðiyle kendini kabul ettirmeye çalýþarak, tiyatroyla ilgilenmeye baþladý. Moliere, Hukuk Fakültesine girdiyse de bu alana fazla ilgi duymadýðýndan eðitimini tamamlamadan okuldan ayrýldý. Bir oyuncular topluluðu oluþturarak bu topluluðun yöneticiliðini üstlendi (1643). Sahnede asýl ismi yerine Moliere müstear ismini kullandý. Ancak, baþarýlý olamadý. Paris'e yerleþen gurup burada tutunamadý. Tiyatrosu kapanýp iflâs edince borcu yüzünden hapse girdi. Paris'te topluluðuyla tutunamayan ve borcu yüzünden bir süre hapis yatan Moliere, iki yýl aradan sonra tiyatro gurubuyla Fransa turuna çýktý. On iki yýl boyunca taþrada dolaþtýðý bölgelerde hem yazýp, hem oynadý. Bu kez baþarýlý da oldu. Çünkü, sadece belli bir sosyokültüre sahip kesime hitap etmekten öte, daha geniþ kitlelere hitap etmeyi, sokaktaki insaný canlandýrmayý tercih etti. Her zaman karþýlaþýlabilir tiplemeler ve kolay anlaþýlýr mesajlar içeren oyunlara yer verdi. Uzun bir aradan sonra Paris'e geri döndü (1658).

"El Caso Moliere", que acaba de aparecer en Francia, sostiene que Corneille fue el negro de este gran dramaturgo del siglo 17, cuyo nombre real era Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622-1673), informó hoy el diario France Soir. A partir de una investigación minuciosa sobre las biografías y estudios oficiales de Moliere, Boissier aporta un centenar de elementos que, según el autor, prueban el fraude y esclarecen las contradicciones y puntos oscuros en la obra del dramaturgo.

Cheap Candide (Book) (Voltaire, Francois-Marie Arouet) Price Less than I expected The Misanthrope is a play about the principled Alceste, a regular Don Quixote of honesty and speaking one's mind. Despite the advice of his "friend" Philinte (apparently the playwright's voice), he never pulls any punches in revealing the vanity and superficiality of the court and the nobles (the Misanthrope was written during the reign of Louis XIV). While exposing the shallow flatterers for what they are, the play also points out the vain-glorious and quite ridiculous aspects of pursuing an ideal at any cost. As is known, Moliere is considered one of the greatest playwrights and a master of comedy. Partly because of this elevated status, I was a little disappointed by the Misanthrope. It does not reach the comic heights of the Greek comedies or Shakespeare, and as a comment on principled people it is certainly inferior to Ibsen's Brand. It is quite possible that it is more engaging when performed on stage, but as a read it is less than I expected.

An Introduction to Moliere and Reading Tartuffe Moliere (1622-1673) was a French actor and playwright. Early in his career he acted in a troop of actors that traveled around the French countryside. This troop of actors became the Comedie Francaise (The Comdiennes of France), a highly successful theatrical company noted for its entertaining farces and comedies. Among Moliere's most noted works are Tartuffe and The Imaginary Invalid . Both are broad comedies that poke fun at their characters and the times. Tartuffe pokes so much fun at the established Christian church of the times that the Catholic Church forced the French king to ban the play several times. The plays that Moliere wrote and acted in were noted for a certain set of characteristics they often used, a set of characteristics now known as the comedy of manners. Moliere used the conventions of the comedy of manner to comment on the world in which he lived, especially the social life of the times. As you read the play, do not expect to see the kind of psychological realism that you expect to see in characters in modern plays. Rather, Moliere in Tartuffe uses the conventions of the comedy of manners, the conventions that play-goers in the 18th century would expect.

Translation by Richard Wilbur Director's Notes: Alceste understands the irony of his love for Célimène, "whose brittle malice and coquettish ways/so typify the manners of our days." What he doesn’t fully comprehend is how much he needs her, and the world she represents, to complete himself. For me, The Misanthrope is not a comedy about a man who hates mankind. It is a comedy about a man so in love with his idealized self that the joy of true love with another tragically escapes his grasp. A note about our set: You might want to look for meaning in the sheets of gold that mask the dilapidated house on stage. ("Ah, the wealthy Célimène is blocking out the squalor of the world around her.") Dear Theater-Goer, no such meaning is intended. Through a generous arrangement with the Loring Playhouse, we are performing The Misanthrope Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (1622-1673), the well-educated son of a prosperous Parisian merchant, changed his name to Molière in 1645 after quitting school to seek a career in the theater. Known today chiefly as a playwright, he was also a company manager and accomplished comic actor.
