Sganarelle Or The Self-Deceived Husband

Bag om Sganarelle Or The Self-Deceived Husband

Sganarelle Or The Self-Deceived Husband is a play written by Jean Baptiste Poquelin, who is better known by his stage name Moliere. The play was first performed in 1660 and is a comedy that explores the theme of deception and self-deception. The protagonist, Sganarelle, is a middle-aged man who is married to a young and beautiful woman named Martine. Despite his age and unattractive appearance, Sganarelle is convinced that his wife is unfaithful to him. He becomes obsessed with the idea and seeks advice from various characters, including a quack doctor and a philosopher. However, his suspicions are unfounded, and his wife is faithful to him. The play is a satire on the theme of jealousy and the absurdity of baseless suspicions. It is also a commentary on the social norms of the time, where older men would marry younger women and were often insecure about their attractiveness to their wives. The play is a classic example of Moliere's wit and humor and is still performed in theaters around the world.SGAN. (Without seeing Celia). ""O too happy mortal in having so beautiful a wife!"" Say rather, unhappy mortal in having such a disgraceful spouse through whose guilty passion, it is now but too clear, I have been cuckolded without any feeling of compassion. Yet I allow him to go away after such a discovery, and stand with my arms folded like a regular silly-billy! I ought at least to have knocked his hat off, thrown stones at him, or mud on his cloak; to satisfy my wrath I should rouse the whole neighbourhood, and cry, ""Stop, thief of my honour!""This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
