Miser
The Miser, written by Molière in 1668, is a comedy of manners centered on Harpagon, a wealthy and miserly moneylender. His children, desperate to escape their father's frugality, seek to marry their true loves. While the play critiques the obsession with wealth and the upper-class values of 17th-century France, it is less harsh than Molière's earlier work, Tartuffe, which faced significant backlash upon its debut. The play remains notable for its exploration of familial conflict and societal norms.
