   Extractions: valets de chambre tapissiers or The Blunderer The Love-Sick Doctor or The Pretentious Ladies Over the course of the next thirteen years, Molière worked feverishly to make his company the most respected dramatic troupe in Paris. (Eventually, they were awarded the coveted title "Troupe of the King.") He directed his own plays and often played the leading role himself. The Imaginary Invalid . He had insisted on going through with the performance in spite of the advice of his wife and friends saying, "There are fifty poor workers who have only their daily wage to live on. What will become of them if the performance does not take place?" He passed away later that night at his home on the Rue Richelieu. The local priests refused to take his confession, for actors had no social standing and had been excommunicated by the church. Nor would they permit him to be buried in holy ground. Four days later, the King interceded and Molière was finally buried in the Cemetery Saint Joseph under the cover of darkness.

    Extractions: French Playwright Moliere is considered the world's greatest writer of comedies. Many of his plays have also been translated for performances in English theatres, giving him a considerable reputation abroad. Moliere, whose real name was Jean Baptiste Poquelin, was born in Paris. He studied with the Jesuits at the College de Clermont. In 1643 he embarked on a theatrical venture under the title of L'Illustre Theatre, which lasted for over three years in Paris. In 1658 he played before the king, and organized a regular theatre. From 1659 no year passed without at least one major dramatic achievement. His plays range from simple farce to very sophisticated comedy. They ridicule the weakness and foolish actions of the people of his time, and point up their false values. In 'Tartuffe' Moliere invented one of his famous comic types, that of a religious hypocrite. The play was so audacious that King Louis XIV, although he found it amusing, did not permit a public performance for five years, fearing that it would offend the powerful French higher clergy. Moliere died while playing the leading part of his last play, 'The Imaginary Invalid'.

    Extractions: Moliere The Misanthrope The Miser The Physician in Spite of Himself Plays by Moliere ... Tartuffe (The Imposter) Introduction "Moliere" was the pseudonym Following his return to Paris in 1658 he gained immediate notoriety by playing Corneille’s Nicomede before the King followed by a farce. The King was to employ him in 1665, however. Moliere was himself the main draw for his plays and he seems to have been a splendid actor who was a disciple of Scaramouche and moreover could twist his face into any contorted shape. Of his characters, Tartuffe in Tartuffe (The Imposter) (1664-7) is one of the dramatist’s finest figures: a sensual individual who masks himself as an ascetic but must finally reveal himself for what he is. The School for Wives (1662) was also a popular success, telling of a man who gives his wife no education so that she will not be unfaithful and is straight comedy. In The Misanthrope (1666) there is an ambiguity in the very comedy of the central character Alceste; while in The Miser (1668) Moliere steers away from farce and depends on the incongruous and the absurd. His final play
