The Blunderer

Molière, a pivotal figure in Western comedy, honed his craft through years of acting before becoming a celebrated playwright. His unique style blended elements of Commedia dell'Arte with sophisticated French comedy. With support from aristocrats, he achieved significant recognition, including a performance at the Louvre for King Louis XIV. His works, such as The Affected Ladies and The School for Husbands, resonated with Parisian audiences, solidifying his legacy as a master of theatrical humor and social critique.
