Paperback. Etat : New. Print on Demand. This book, an incisive play by the master French playwright Molià re, lampoons societal mores through a witty narrative exploring themes such as marriage, freedom, and deception. Molià re presents a clever critique of 17th-century social norms, particularly arranged marriages, through the contrasting characters of two brothers. Ariste, valuing freedom and mutual respect, raises his ward Leonor in a liberal, trusting manner, while Sganarelle, a guardian obsessed with control, subjects his ward Isabella to an extreme, almost oppressive upbringing. As the plot unfolds, the cunning Isabella outsmarts her chaperone and secretly communicates with her lover, leading to a humorous battle of wits between Sganarelle and Isabella, with hilarious consequences. The School for Husbands examines the complexities of marriage, the delicate balance between freedom and societal expectations, and the lengths individuals will go to in pursuit of love and personal agency, leaving readers with thought-provoking insights about human relationships.
