Product Description
From Amazon
Comment Alceste, qui n'aime que la vérité, la sincérité, la droiture, lui qui est la rigidité faite homme, comment a-t-il pu s'éprendre de Célimène, qui représente tout ce qu'il déteste : l'hypocrisie, la légèreté, le persiflage, les apparences ? Il a pourtant bien succombé aux charmes de la jeune veuve, et voudrait qu'elle ne se consacre qu'à lui, qu'elle renonce à cette mondanité qu'il hait tant. Évidemment, elle n'en a aucunement l'intention : c'est tout l'enjeu de la pièce, qui orchestre le spectacle des bassesses, des manoeuvres, mais surtout des faiblesses des deux protagonistes. Difficile alors de dire qui a tort et qui a raison...
Pièce à part, avec Dom Juan, dans la production de Molière, Le Misanthrope reste une comédie, mais une comédie grinçante, qui fait tomber les masques et constitue une peinture sur le vif de la nature humaine. C'est sans doute pour cela que les plus grands metteurs en scène ont voulu s'attaquer à cette pièce et les plus grands comédiens se mesurer à ses rôles. --Karla Manuele --This text refers to an out of print or unavailable edition of this title.
Book Description
One of the best of Molière's plays — and one of the greatest of all comedies — spotlighting the absurdities of social and literary pretension, focusing on a man who is quick to criticize the faults of others, yet remains blind to his own. Publisher's Note.

"The Misanthrope" Review: An Annoying Play!,
By MAB (USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Penguin Classics Misanthrope And Other Plays (Paperback)
"The Misanthrope" - this is the only play I read. This play is superficial and degrades, as always, women. The woman in this play is stereotyped as a flirtatious girl with many suitors. I did not find this play at all a farce and found the rhyming childish and annoying. The play ends without a true ending and will leave you wanting the time you spent reading it back. I do not recommend.

Hysterical,
By A Customer
This review is from: The Misanthrope and Other Plays (Signet classics) (Paperback)
You might not think a play in verse written in the 17th century would be accessible and entertaining today, but this one's hilarious. Somehow the formal rhyming couplets make everything funnier. Get the Donald Frame translation - I've seen some others that weren't nearly as good.

Very relevant,
By Jeremy (Warwick, New York United States) - See all my reviews
This review is from: The Misanthrope (Paperback)
It is my blief that everyone should read this book. I am a high school senior and find it very insightful. In addition to that, it is also very ammusing. It is an accurate commentary on society.
