Discuss Moliere’s use of satire in the play. What aspects of his culture and society are held up for inspection and ridicule, and how? You should consider at least three characters/scenes/plot points to support your arguments. You can rewatch the play on Vimeo. It’s not the same version we saw, but it’s not bad and is the same translation: http://vimeo.com/38036423

YouTube has one of the best scenes from the version we saw, at least:

Finally, you can read the entire Richard Wilbur translation here:

Remember , you can write as many of these reflections as are offered, but the first one you deliver will count for your required essay and will be letter-graded; all later papers will simply earn extra credit (one additional grade step on an exam or other letter-graded assignment). As always, use an effective structure that carefully guides your reader from one idea to the next, and edit thoroughly so that sentences are readable and appropriate for an academic audience. Two pages (1” margins, typed, double-spaced, 10/12-pt. type.); title your work and, on a cover page or in the top left-hand corner, be sure to put your name, my name, our class, and the date.
