Autorenporträt
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name Molière, is one of the greatest playwrights in French literature and Western theatre. Born in Paris on January 15, 1622, Molière was the son of an affluent upholsterer who held the office of 'Tapissier du Roi,' a royal appointment. His early education at the Jesuit Collège de Clermont, now Lycée Louis-le-Grand, laid classical foundations that would deeply influence his works. Molière formed the Illustre Théâtre in 1643 but initially faced debt and imprisonment. His fortunes turned after he secured patronage from Louis XIV; his troupe eventually became known as the king's own, 'La Troupe du Roi.' Molière's prolific oeuvre often combined satirical edge with comedic flair, offering trenchant social commentary under the veil of humor. Among his many plays, 'Sganarelle, or, the Self-Deceived Husband' (1660), stands out as an excellent example of his talent for blending farce with deeper insights into human nature and societal norms. His literary style evolved from the slapstick and physical comedy that characterized his early work to the more sophisticated, character-driven satire of his later plays, which include 'The Misanthrope,' 'The School for Wives,' and 'Tartuffe.' Molière's influence on the comedic genre can hardly be overstated, and his keen observations of human folly remain as relevant today as they were in the 17th century. His death on February 17, 1673, shortly after collapsing on stage, only solidified his legacy, eternally entwining his life with the theater.
