Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name of Moliere, stands without a rival at the head of French comedy. His many great plays include ‘The School for Husbands’ and ‘The School for Wives, ‘ ‘The Misanthrope’ and ‘The Hypocrite’ (Tartuffe), ‘The Miser’ and ‘The Hypochondriac, ‘ ‘The Learned Ladies, ‘ ‘The Doctor in Spite of Himself, ‘ ‘The Citizen Turned Gentleman, ‘ and many others, in which he exposed mercilessly one after another the vices and foibles of the day. His characteristic qualities are nowhere better exhibited than in ‘Tartuffe.’ Compared with such characterization as Shakespeare’s, Moliere’s method of portraying life may seem to be lacking in complexity; but it is precisely the simplicity with which creations like Tartuffe embody the weakness or vice they represent that has given them their place as universally recognized types of human nature.
