Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme = Der Bürger als Edelmann (Perfect Paperback)

Molière's satire feels both timeless and specific to his era. I wonder what prompted him to highlight these social pretensions in such a humorous way.

Some jokes landed perfectly, but I was curious if others felt the satire crosses centuries or feels dated in certain parts.

The play’s pacing and characters seem designed to poke fun at societal norms — I wonder if the structure was intentionally crafted to maximize this satirical effect.
