Le Mariage forcé by Molière
"Le Mariage forcé" by Molière is a comédie-ballet first performed in 1664. Sganarelle, a wealthy fifty-three-year-old man, decides to marry the young and beautiful Dorimène. Despite warnings from his friend and confusing advice from philosophers and fortune-tellers, he pursues the match. But when he overhears Dorimène confessing her mercenary motives to her lover, Sganarelle tries to escape the engagement—only to find himself trapped by her brother's threats and violence into an unwanted
marriage. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
