Slideshow transcript

Slide 1: Moliere Jean Baptiste Poquelin 1622-1673

Slide 2: Farce  Exaggerated personality traits  Improbable comic situations  Extreme behavior  Slapstick  Unbelievable resolution

Slide 3: A Study of Human Nature  Although his characters are often mere types, Moliere’s plays investigate human nature.  Are people by nature good and noble or greedy, small minded, and brutal?

Slide 4: Absolutist Theater  Louis 14 fixes everything.  Perhaps Moliere is suggesting that human nature is so corrupt that it needs a strong power– like an absolute monarch– to keep it in check. (Hobbes)  Or maybe he is just showing Louis what he wants to see.
