Мизантроп
"Мизантроп" is a play written by the French playwright Molière in 1666. The title translates to "The Misanthrope" in English, and it explores themes of social hypocrisy and the struggle between honesty and societal expectations. The main character, Alceste, is a man who despises the insincerity of those around him and prefers to speak the truth, even when it alienates him from others.
The play is set in Paris and features a cast of characters that represent various aspects of society. Through witty dialogue and sharp satire, Molière critiques the superficial nature of social interactions and the challenges of maintaining integrity in a world filled with pretense.
