Despite being written in the 19th century, the humor and critique feel surprisingly relevant today. Did anyone else see parallels with current social or political dynamics?

The character of Chatsky feels so vivid and timeless. I wonder what personal or societal factors led Griboyedov to craft him as a voice of reason and wit.

The wordplay and sharp dialogue make it a dense read at times. How did others experience the balance between humor and serious critique in the text?
