The School For Wives is a classic play written by French playwright Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known as Moliere. It was first performed in 1662 and is considered one of Moliere's most famous works. The play is a comedy that satirizes the idea of arranged marriages and the education of women.The story follows Arnolphe, a wealthy man who has raised a young girl named Agnes in isolation, with the intention of marrying her when she comes of age. Arnolphe believes that by keeping Agnes ignorant and obedient, he can ensure that she will be a faithful and dutiful wife. However, his plans are thrown into disarray when Agnes meets and falls in love with Horace, a young man who is everything Arnolphe is not ������� charming, intelligent, and well-educated.As the play unfolds, Arnolphe's attempts to control Agnes become increasingly desperate and comical, while Horace's attempts to win her heart lead to a series of misunderstandings and hilarious mishaps. In the end, Arnolphe is forced to confront the limitations of his own worldview and the folly of trying to control another person's life.The School For Wives is a timeless classic that continues to be performed and studied today. It is a witty and insightful commentary on the nature of love, marriage, and human relationships, and a testament to Moliere's enduring talent as a playwright.I declare I cannot rest anywhere; my mind is troubled by a thousand cares, thinking how to contrive, both indoors and out, so as to frustrate the attempts of this coxcomb. With what assurance the traitress stood the sight of me! She is not a whit moved by all that she has done, and though she has brought me within an inch of the grave, one could swear, to look at her, that she had no hand in it.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.
