The Pretentious Young Ladies
Molière
Book Overview:
The pretentious young ladies are Magdelon and Cathos, two young provincials who came to Paris in search of love and jeux d'esprit. Gorgibus, the father of Magdelon and the uncle of Cathos, decides they should get married with a couple of young men, but the women find these men unrefined and ridicule them. The men then vow to take revenge. Appears Mascarille, a young man who claims to be a sophisticated man of the world attending the best circles. Magdelon falls in love with him. Then another young man appears, Jodelet, and now it is Cathos who falls in love. It is revealed that both men, Mascarille and Jodelet are impostors who are actually the servants of the first two men who were despised and rejected. As the curtain falls, les Précieuses and Gorgibus fell into the trap and thus demonstrated the absurdity of their vanity

"As to the Attempt here made to expose the several Vices and Follies that at present flourish in Vogue, I hope your Lordship will think it confined within the bounds of a modest and wholesome Chastisement. That it is a very seasonable one, I believe, every Person will acknowledge. When what is set up for the Standard of Taste, is but just the Reverse of Truth and Common Sense; and that which is dignify'd with the Name of Politeness, is deficie. . . Read More

هذه المسرحية هى لقائى الأول مع موليير,لكنها لم تكن ما أنتوى البدء به بل كانت مسرحية "عدو الإنسانية"..كنت أود أن أبدأ قراءاتى لموليير بها لكن لا بأس فقد كانت هذه المسرحية ممتعة بما فيه الكفايةو لم تثبط من همتى فى استكمال رحلتى المولييرية,فقد كانت "المتحذلقات"هى بداية شهرة موليير و ذيوع صيته رغم كل شئ

"MAGDELON.- ...Así es como las cosas se tratan en los modales refinados, y son reglas, de las que no se puede prescindir en la buena educación. ¡Pero venir de punta en blanco al enlace conyugal, no hacer el amor más que con el contrato matrimonial, y tomar justament
*تجربتي الأولى مع موليير
عادةً ، لا أنجذب للمسرحيات البتة ،لا أبتاعها ولا أقرؤها إلا بسبب أو دافع من أحدهم،لا سيما أن القليل الذي قرأته منها لم يكن مثيراً ، إلى أن قرأت "المتحذلقات" لتشذّ عن القاعدة وتمنحني نظرة أكثر إيجابية نحو هذا النوع من الكتب .
المسرحية قصيرة جداً، كُتبت منذ 4 قرون تقريباً وترجمت
قرأت لموليير أول مرة، مسرحية Le Malade imaginaire التي كانت مسرحيته الأخيرة، حيث مات على خشبة المسرح وهو يؤدي دور المريض الواهم!
موليير ذلك المسرحي والشاعر اللاذع اللسان.. تمميّز أعماله بالسخرية والهجاء لمظاهر المجتمع الباريسي في القرن السابع عشر.
وفي هذه المسرحية القصيرة جداً، يسخر من مُدّعي الثقافة

Unfortunately, the girls do not believe either of these m
