Le Médecin Malgré Lui

The clever wordplay and social critique are timeless. I'm curious how Molière's approach to comedy shaped the way the play's humor has endured.

The satire of social pretensions felt surprisingly modern. I wonder if Molière intentionally crafted it to resonate across centuries or if it was more of a reflection of his time.

His role as a self-made doctor who fakes his way through society adds a layer of irony. I'm interested in what the author might have thought about this character archetype.
