Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme
by Molière, Nick Dear
What readers are saying
Readers generally find 'Le Bourgeois Gentilhomme' to be a humorous and engaging play that effectively critiques the pretensions of social climbing. Many appreciate Molière's clever use of language and the absurdity of the protagonist, Monsieur Jourdain, who is depicted as hilariously naive. The comedic elements resonate well, though some feel it lacks the charm found in Molière's other works.
