Size: Hardcover
This book offers a new approach to the work of the great classical author. Molière’s is obviously a patriarchal world in which women are most often treated as objects of patriarchal autocracy, which expects their submission. Yet in a number of his plays, women display ample resourcefulness in countering the patriarchal rule, often managing to outwit it. To explore this topic, the book scrutinizes Molière’s most important comedies,
The School for Wives
,
Tartuffe
The Misanthrope
, and
Don Juan
, all of which feature complex female characters who play important roles. They show that Molière acknowledged a fully valid space for women and recognized their right to their own lives. As a prelude, the book analyzes two comedies from the margins of Molière’s oeuvre,
The Ridiculous Précieuses
and
The Learned Ladies
, which provoked controversy and indignant feminist criticism, since they appear to deride the emancipatory efforts of the time.
