1664 Delighted Husband Moliere Plays Tells Mariage Temperament
EDITORS COMMENTS
Molière's "Le Mariage Forcé" or "The Forced Marriage" is a classic comedy play that premiered in Paris on January 15, 1664, during the reign of King Louis XIV. This photograph print depicts the famous scene where Dorimène, played by Molière himself, passionately argues with her husband Alceste, portrayed by Thomas Gabin, about the virtues of her temperament. In this moment, Dorimène, in an attempt to persuade her husband to be content with her, emphasizes the importance of enduring the imperfections and quirks of one's spouse. The play, which explores the themes of love, marriage, and the complexities of human relationships, was a huge success and is considered one of Molière's greatest works. The image captures the intensity and emotion of the scene, with Dorimène's expressive face and animated gestures conveying her deep conviction. The period costumes and the ornate set design further transport us back to the 17th century, offering a glimpse into the world of French theatre during the time of Molière. "Le Mariage Forcé" is not only a testament to Molière's exceptional talent as a playwright but also a reflection of the societal norms and values of the time. The play's enduring popularity and relevance are a testament to its timeless themes and the universal appeal of human emotions and relationships.
