Born, Paris, France, 1622 Died, Paris, France, 1675 This document was originally published in Minute History of the Drama Purchase " T IS a mighty stroke at any vice to make it the laughing stock of everybody; for men will easily suffer reproof; but they can by no means endure mockery. They will consent to be wicked but not ridiculous." [ These are the words of the man who is rated by most critics as the greatest comic dramatist of all times and considered worthy to stand with Sophocles and Shakespeare . They were written in defense of the play, Tartuffe , ranked as his most outstanding and most representative play. For in the 17th century, as in ours, powerful cliques attempted to censor every play that did not happen to coincide with their own views or selfish interests. We can realize the bitterness of the campaign against Tartuffe from the fact that it was not finally licensed for public performance until more than three years after its first performance before Louis XIV. "Molière" was in reality only the stage name assumed when, as a young man, the embryo genius joined a group of strolling players. So famous did he make it, that few of us today recognize the surname "Poquelin." Molière's father was a prosperous tradesman, upholsterer to the King by appointment. Since this was a hereditary honor, the son shrewdly made use of it to establish and strengthen himself in the King's favor, when, after twelve years in the provinces, he returned to Paris.

Moliere (Jean Baptiste Poquelin) France 1622 - 1672 Moliere was Poquelin's stage name, and the only name ever used for this writer. Thus, Moliere is a pseudonym or pen name , which means a name other than his true name under which an author publishes his literary works Moliere's father, Jean Poquelin, was a successful craftsman. He was one of eight upholsterers who worked for the French king and royal family. Although Moliere had studied law and probably took a law degree in about 1641 at the age of 19, his father was a respectable and prosperous man who expected his son to take over his business and serve the king as he had. Poquelin and his wife, Marie Cresse, were to be disappointed. Moliere shocked his family by renouncing the business world and becoming an actor. According to legend, his mother's father had often taken him to theatrical performances, and this, perhaps, was when he learned to love the theater. However, actors in the 17th century were held in low esteem, classed with rascals and charlatans (tricksters/imposters), and were even denied Christian burial. For these reasons, Moliere's family regretted his decision. (Very probably the reason he acquired his pseudonym was to mask the relationship between himself and his family, thus sparing them the embarrassment of having an actor in their family.)

valets de chambre tapissiers or The Blunderer The Love-Sick Doctor or The Pretentious Ladies Over the course of the next thirteen years, Molière worked feverishly to make his company the most respected dramatic troupe in Paris. (Eventually, they were awarded the coveted title "Troupe of the King.") He directed his own plays and often played the leading role himself. The Imaginary Invalid . He had insisted on going through with the performance in spite of the advice of his wife and friends saying, "There are fifty poor workers who have only their daily wage to live on. What will become of them if the performance does not take place?" He passed away later that night at his home on the Rue Richelieu. The local priests refused to take his confession, for actors had no social standing and had been excommunicated by the church. Nor would they permit him to be buried in holy ground. Four days later, the King interceded and Molière was finally buried in the Cemetery Saint Joseph under the cover of darkness.
