The Imaginary Invalid

Molière

Book Overview: 

In Molière’s outrageous satire of medicine and its practitioners, the wealthy Argan, to put it mildly, "enjoys" poor health. Laxatives, suppositories, bloodlettings, and second and third opinions from the leading quacks are the order of his day and hell on his wily, back-talking servant Toinette. His daughter Angélique is in love with the impoverished Cléante, but Argan wants to marry her to Thomas Diafoirus, a medical dunce who can assure his father-in-law a lifetime of health care. Cléante disguises himself as a music teacher to gain access to his love, but Béline, Argan’s mercenary second wife, threatens to expose them. A disguised Toinette, sage advice from his brother Béralde, and a faked death scene finally teach Argan where to place his trust.

Arg. Don't speak like that? Why not?

Toi. Dear me, no, don't.

Arg. And why should I not speak like that?

Toi. People will say that you don't know what you are talking about.

Arg. People will say all they like, but I tell you that I will have her make my promise good.

Toi. I feel sure that she won't.

Arg. Then I will force her to do it.

Toi. She will not do it, I tell you.

Arg. She will, or I will shut her up in a convent.

Toi. You?

Arg. I.

Toi. Good!

Arg. How good?

Toi. You will not shut her up in a convent.

Arg. I shall not shut her up in a convent?

L'intérêt pour les nouveautés théâtrales n'est pas purement anecdotique. La lecture de ces oeuvres molièriennnes laisse à penser que des modifications d'attitude vis-à-vis du théâtre et de son vieillissement pourraient se dessiner. Il faudra disposer de bourdonnements fiables pour suivre son évoluti

“BERALDO.  (…) Yo me dedico a combatir la medicina (…) Ahora para distraerte, te llevaría a ver una comedia de Moliere precisamente sobre este tema.

ARGAN.  ¡Valiente impertinente está el tal Moliere!...¡Me parece de muy mal gusto hacer chachota de gente tan respetable como los médicos!

Me ha gustado leerla mucho en su idioma original. La edición que encontré está hecha para alumnos de instituto, pero no cambia su texto or

Müthiş komik ancak bir o kadar da hüzünlü bir oyun. Zira bu oyun Moliere'in hayata gözlerini yumduğu oyun.
Maalesef bu oyunun gösterimlerinden birinde oyunun sonlarına doğru Moliere sahnede fenalaşır. Her ne kadar canı yansada bunu seyirciye belli etmemeye çalışır. Ancak kimsenin olamayacağı gibi Mol
