Narrative In Favor Of 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.

Critique Regarding Books Le Malade imaginaire

Nice play. skipped all the songs and dances though.

Crass, laboured play with an unsound premise, where the 'harsh criticism of the medical profession' of the time actually completely misses its mark. This is ironic because Moliere was apparently extremely ill with pulmonary disease and died a few hours after a performance. 'Hypochondria' is itself an unsound and dangerous diagnosis, whether made by medics or lay people, and this would have been the case at the time. Indeed, psychogenic explanations for physical diseases were often, as they are

Review to follow, apologies. Probably should be 5 stars, just a couple of things. (Still, I look forward to reading and rereading more Molière- I remember some from French class half a lifetime ago, especially Le bourgeois gentilhomme (So Ive been reading prose all this time!!! :) - yes, things like this happen to me, I no longer mock, I call it the cumin naming experience...))

Of Tartuffe, L'Avare and Le malade imaginaire, my favourite is definitely the last. Whether it's because of my frame of mind when reading it, or for intrinsic reasons, its characters felt so alive they glowed off the page. The warmth in a few of the scenes was also touching. I felt this in the scene which is otherwise appalling from a modern viewpoint, where the protagonist Argan threatens to beat his young daughter in order to find out his other daughter's secret.I like the idea that a 20th

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

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

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.
