Description

It is all of Molière's art of "making fun of the folly of Men" that is expressed through this classical masterpiece that is so modern. Besides the jubilant psychiatric analysis of avarice through the character of Harpagon and the formidable exposition of the conflict of generations, the play is distinguished by a theatrical abundance that mixes love and family intrigues in a style where Molière delights in combining the natural language of Harpagon and the more sophisticated language of the other characters.<br> But Molière's great genius is, above all, to succeed in making the public laugh with a main character who is odious, tyrannical, selfish and pathologically... stingy.
