Sganarelle, ou le Cocu imaginaire by Molière
"Sganarelle, ou le Cocu imaginaire" by Molière is a one-act comedy in verse first performed in 1660. When Sganarelle tries to help a fainting young woman, a dropped portrait sets off a chain reaction of jealous assumptions and comic misunderstandings. Each character becomes convinced of different romantic betrayals—none of which are true. This farcical tale of hasty conclusions became Molière's most frequently performed play during his lifetime, delighting audiences with its warning
about believing what we think we see. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
