Molière
1670
Translated by Ioannes Polemes
''Ο Αρχοντοχωριάτης'' by Molière is a comedy written in the 17th century. The play satirizes social pretensions, particularly focusing on the character of Monsieur Jourdain, a middle-class man who aspires to be accepted into the aristocracy. The story humorously explores themes of class, vanity, and the folly of pursuing superficial status. The beginning of ''Ο Αρχοντοχωριάτης'' introduces Monsieur Jourdain, who is being guided by various instructors in music, dance, and swordsmanship as he aims to elevate his status. Engaging in lively discussions with his teachers, he expresses his desire to learn and showcase his capabilities while entertaining the comedic contrasts between his pretentiousness and the reality of his limited understanding. This playful tone sets the stage for the amusing encounters that will unfold as Jourdain navigates the complexities of his ambitious aspirations.
