The Miser
Molière
Book Overview:
The Miser is a comedy of manners about a rich moneylender named Harpagon. His feisty children long to escape from his penny-pinching household and marry their respective lovers. Although the 17th-century French upper classes presumably objected to the play's message, it is less savage and somewhat less realistic than Molière's earlier play, Tartuffe, which attracted a storm of criticism on its first performance.

A lot exaggeration and Artificiality, But nice play :) !
3,5⭐
Chciałabym, żeby ktoś kochał mnie tak, jak Harpagon kochał swoją szkatułkę
"możesz się na mnie spuścić"
ja jestem skąpa, utożsamiam się z harpagonem

Gdyby Ukryta Prawda i Sekrety Sasiadow mialy wspolnego przodka to byłby to Skapiec
nie spodziewałam się czegoś tak przyjemnego i zabawnego po lekturze szkolnej. całość przeczytałam w jakieś 2 godziny i język nie był wcale ciężki mimo, że ta sztuka pochodzi z XVII wieku, plot twist na końcu 10/10<3
