had to read this for school, and it bored me. i understand that this is actually the point of the piece, but i hated how one-dimensional the characters were. they were all unlikable and irritating, so the fact that they were very flat only made it worse. very predictable plot. despite being a comedy it never once made me laugh. not the type of french literature i personally enjoy. i can see why someone would like this, though.
okay so the hungarian translation really makes this whole play better. the language flows, an easy read with the qualities you look for in a play. comedy at its finest

I read this for my Masterpieces of World Literature course; very engaging! How remarkable that Moliere can consistently keep the same couplet rhyme scheme and meter! (And I was reading an English translation as well!) Very similar to Shakespeare, in it that the women dominate the course of the events; without Dorine, we would not have a story. It's a testament to female significance in French society in this neo-classicism period, as women in this region were able to partake in intellectual discussion and thought.
