Reading The Miser and Other Plays (The School for Wives, The School for Wives Criticized, Don Juan, The Hypochondriac) | Alexandria
Read The Miser and Other Plays (The School for Wives, The School for Wives Criticized, Don Juan, The Hypochondriac) by Jean-Baptiste Moliere. Exposing social pretense, Molière's razor-sharp satires reveal how self-deception poisons relationships, wealth, and health. His genius lies in showing that excessive virtue can be as destructive as vice - a paradox that challenges modern wellness culture and performative morality. These plays unmask timeless human follies with wit that still stings.
