Bag om The School For Husbands

The School for Husbands is a play written by French playwright Moliere, also known as Jean Baptiste Poquelin. The play was first performed in 1661 and is a comedic exploration of the themes of love, marriage, and gender roles in 17th century France.The plot centers around two brothers, Sganarelle and Ariste. Sganarelle is a wealthy and controlling man who has been raising a young woman named Isabelle since she was a child. He plans to marry her and keep her under his strict control, but Ariste believes that Isabelle should be allowed to choose her own husband.To help Isabelle learn about the world and make her own decisions, Ariste enlists the help of a group of young men who run a school for husbands. The school teaches men how to be good husbands and treat their wives with respect and equality.Through a series of comedic misunderstandings and mishaps, Sganarelle is ultimately forced to confront his own controlling behavior and allow Isabelle to choose her own husband. The play ends with a celebration of love and the importance of mutual respect and equality in marriage.Overall, The School for Husbands is a witty and entertaining play that explores important themes that are still relevant today. It offers a humorous critique of traditional gender roles and the importance of allowing individuals to make their own choices in love and marriage.SGAN. You know well enough what I wish to speak to you about. To tell you plainly, I thought you had more sense. You have been making fun of me with your fine speeches, and secretly nourish silly expectations. Look you, I wished to treat you gently; but you will end by making me very angry. Are you not ashamed, considering who you are, to form, such designs as you do? to intend to carry off a respectable girl, and interrupt a marriage on which her whole happiness depends?This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
