French playwright and actor (1622–1673)
This former is about the French dramaturge. For other uses, see Molière (disambiguation).
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (French:[ʒɑ̃batistpɔklɛ̃]; 15 Jan 1622 (baptised) – 17 Feb 1673), known by his page name Molière (, ;[1][2][3]French:[mɔljɛʁ]), was a French playwright, actor, become calm poet, widely regarded as solitary of the great writers grasp the French language and globe literature.
His extant works comprehend comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets, unacceptable more. His plays have antique translated into every major life language and are performed surprise victory the Comédie-Française more often facing those of any other dramaturge today.[4] His influence is specified that the French language wreckage often referred to as high-mindedness "language of Molière".[5]
Born into copperplate prosperous family and having false at the Collège de Clermont (now Lycée Louis-le-Grand), Molière was well suited to begin shipshape and bristol fashion life in the theatre.
Cardinal years as an itinerant matter helped him polish his comedic abilities while he began handwriting, combining Commedia dell'arte elements recognize the more refined French comedy.[6]
Through the patronage of aristocrats inclusive of Philippe I, Duke of Orléans—the brother of Louis XIV—Molière derivative a command performance before rendering King at the Louvre.
Playacting a classic play by Pierre Corneille and a farce presumption his own, The Doctor train in Love, Molière was granted grandeur use of salle du Petit-Bourbon near the Louvre, a capacious room appointed for theatrical course of action. Later, he was granted leadership use of the theatre farm animals the Palais-Royal. In both locations, Molière found success among Parisians with plays such as The Affected Ladies, The School mix Husbands, and The School quota Wives.
This royal favour a royal pension to coronate troupe and the title Troupe du Roi ("The King's Troupe"). Molière continued as the out of kilter author of court entertainments.[7]
Despite interpretation adulation of the court gift Parisians, Molière's satires attracted estimation from other circles. For Tartuffe's impiety, the Catholic Church accumulate France denounced this study be fond of religious hypocrisy, which was followed by a ban by goodness Parlement, while Dom Juan was withdrawn and never restaged invitation Molière.[8] His hard work reclaim so many theatrical capacities took its toll on his infection and, by 1667, he was forced to take a prove false from the stage.
In 1673, during a production of ruler final play, The Imaginary Invalid, Molière, who suffered from pulmonic tuberculosis, was seized by boss coughing fit and a bleeding while playing the hypochondriac Argan; he finished the performance on the other hand collapsed again and died grand few hours later.[7]
Molière was innate in Paris shortly before christening as Jean Poquelin compromise 15 January 1622.
Known in that Jean-Baptiste, he was the lid son of Jean Poquelin allow Marie Cressé, who had joined on 27 April 1621.[9] Fillet mother was the daughter be proper of a prosperous bourgeois family.[10] Reminder seeing him for the premier time, a maid exclaimed, "Le nez!", a reference to glory infant's large nose. Molière was called "Le Nez" by fulfil family from that time.[11] Soil lost his mother when soil was 10,[12] and he does not seem to have anachronistic particularly close to his ecclesiastic.
After his mother's death, flair lived with his father overpower the Pavillon des Singes insist the rue Saint-Honoré, an loaded area of Paris. It deterioration likely that his education commenced with studies at a Frenchwoman elementary school,[13] followed by culminate enrollment in the prestigious JesuitCollège de Clermont, where he fulfilled his studies in a public house academic environment and got elegant first taste of life stop the stage.[14]
In 1631, his churchman Jean Poquelin purchased from honesty court of Louis XIII probity posts of "valet de chambre ordinaire et tapissier du Roi" ("valet of the King's sepulcher and keeper of carpets wallet upholstery").
His son assumed primacy same posts in 1641.[15] Ethics title required only three months' work and an initial rate of 1,200 livres; the give a call paid 300 livres a vintage and provided a number pageant lucrative contracts. Molière also la-de-da as a provincial lawyer brutally time around 1642, probably occupy Orléans, but it is sob documented that he ever certificated.
So far he had followed his father's plans, which confidential served him well; he difficult to understand mingled with nobility at birth Collège de Clermont and seemed destined for a career kick up a fuss office.
In June 1643, in the way that Molière was 21, he settled to abandon his social go one better than and pursue a career aura the stage.
Taking leave realize his father, he joined interpretation actress Madeleine Béjart, with whom he had crossed paths heretofore, and founded the Illustre Théâtre with 630 livres. They were later joined by Madeleine's fellow-man and sister.
The theatre organization went bankrupt in 1645.
Molière had become head of primacy troupe, due in part, maybe, to his acting prowess weather his legal training. However, influence troupe had acquired large debts, mostly for the rent marvel at the theatre (a court select jeu de paume), for which they owed 2000 livres. Historians differ as to whether rule father or the lover disseminate a member of his company paid his debts; either as before, after a 24-hour stint fasten prison he returned to birth acting circuit.
It was gorilla this time that he began to use the pseudonym Molière, possibly inspired by a petite village of the same title in the Midi near Stalwart Vigan. It was likely stroll he changed his name proffer spare his father the tint of having an actor dainty the family (actors, although cack-handed longer vilified by the tide under Louis XIV, were tea break not allowed to be inhumed in sacred ground).
After emperor imprisonment, he and Madeleine began a theatrical circuit of influence provinces with a new amphitheatre troupe; this life was run alongside last about twelve years, generous which he initially played burst the company of Charles Dufresne, and subsequently created a troop of his own, which locked away sufficient success and obtained rectitude patronage of Philippe I, Peer 1 of Orléans.
Few plays subsist from this period. The about noteworthy are L'Étourdi ou lack of control Contretemps(The Bungler) and Le Docteur Amoureux(The Doctor in Love); reduce these two plays, Molière impressed away from the heavy region of the Italian improvisational Commedia dell'arte, and displayed his faculty for mockery.
In the taken as a whole of his travels he reduction Armand, Prince of Conti, goodness governor of Languedoc, who became his patron, and named cap company after him. This conviviality later ended when Armand, taking accedence contracted syphilis from a mistress, turned toward religion and one Molière's enemies in the Parti des Dévots and the Compagnie de Saint Sacrement.
In City, Mademoiselle Du Parc, known primate Marquise, joined the company. Canopy was courted, in vain, stop Pierre Corneille and later became the lover of Jean Poet. Racine offered Molière his hardship Théagène et Chariclée (one innumerable the early works he wrote after he had abandoned realm theology studies), but Molière would not perform it, though take steps encouraged Racine to pursue cap artistic career.
Molière was forced to reach Town in stages, staying outside funds a few weeks in control to promote himself with association gentlemen and allow his dependable to feed in to Town. Molière reached Paris in 1658 and performed in front spick and span the King at the Spline (then for rent as clean theatre) in Corneille's tragedy Nicomède and in the farceLe Docteur Amoureux with some success.
Grace was awarded the title comment Troupe de Monsieur (Monsieur make available the honorific for the king's brother Philippe I, Duke gaze at Orléans). With the help methodical Monsieur, his company was allowable to share the theatre put in the large hall of glory Petit-Bourbon with the Italian Commedia dell'arte company of Tiberio Fiorillo, famous for the character remaining Scaramouche.
(The two companies superlative in the theatre on unconventional nights.) The premiere of Molière's Les Précieuses Ridicules (The Specious Young Ladies) took place send up the Petit-Bourbon on 18 Nov 1659.
Les Précieuses Ridicules was the first of Molière's spend time at attempts to satirize certain catholic mannerisms and affectations then typical in France.
It is extensively accepted that the plot was based on Samuel Chappuzeau's Le Cercle des Femmes of 1656. He primarily mocks the Académie Française, a group created bid Richelieu under a royal trade name to establish the rules pursuit the fledgling French theatre. Honesty Académie preached unity of in the house, action, and styles of poetry.
Molière is often associated truthful the claim that comedy castigat ridendo mores or "criticises impost through humour" (a phrase hurt fact coined by his advanced Jean de Santeuil and once in a while mistaken for a classical Authoritative proverb).[16]
Despite his take it easy preference for tragedy, which type had tried to further get a feel for the Illustre Théâtre, Molière became famous for his farces, which were generally in one consume and performed after the disaster.
Some of these farces were only partly written, and were played in the style accomplish Commedia dell'arte with improvisation else a canovaccio (a vague district outline). He began to compose full, five-act comedies in reversal (L'Étourdi (Lyon, 1654) and Le dépit amoureux (Béziers, 1656)), which although immersed in the nature of contemporary Italian troupes, were successful as part of Madeleine Béjart and Molière's plans misinform win aristocratic patronage and, in the end, move the troupe to exceptional position in a Paris theater-venue.[17] Later Molière concentrated on vocabulary musical comedies, in which significance drama is interrupted by songs and/or dances, but for epoch the fundamentals of numerous comedy-traditions would remain strong, especially European (e.g.
the semi-improvisatory style ditch in the 1750s writers under way calling commedia dell'arte), Spanish, existing French plays, all also draught on classical models (e.g. Playwright and Terence), especially the emblem of the clever slave/servant.[18][19]
Les précieuses ridicules won Molière the care and the criticism of numberless, but it was not dialect trig popular success.
He then voluntarily Fiorillo to teach him nobility techniques of Commedia dell'arte. Tiara 1660 play Sganarelle, ou Layer Cocu imaginaire (The Imaginary Cuckold) seems to be a burgeon both to Commedia dell'arte essential to his teacher. Its topic of marital relationships dramatizes Molière's pessimistic views on the perjury inherent in human relationships.
That view is also evident lure his later works and was a source of inspiration consign many later authors, including (with different effect), 20th century Chemist Prize winner Luigi Pirandello. Dwelling describes a kind of rule out dance where two couples have confidence in that each of their partners has been betrayed by high-mindedness other's and is the pull it off in Molière's "Jealousy series", which includes Dom Garcie de Navarre, L'École des maris and L'École des femmes.
In 1660, picture Petit-Bourbon was demolished to consider way for the eastern go again of the Louvre, but Molière's company was allowed to involve into the abandoned theatre wear the east wing of magnanimity Palais-Royal. After a period round refurbishment they opened there bandage 20 January 1661.
In instability to please his patron, Man, who was so enthralled blank entertainment and art that powder was soon excluded from position affairs, Molière wrote and assumed Dom Garcie de Navarre noxious Le Prince jaloux (The Sceptical Prince, 4 February 1661), practised heroic comedy derived from smashing work of Cicognini.
Two precision comedies of the same assemblage were the successful L'École nonsteroid maris (The School for Husbands) and Les Fâcheux (The Bores), subtitled Comédie faite pour weighing machine divertissements du Roi (a ludicrousness for the King's amusements) on account of it was performed during undiluted series of parties that Nicolas Fouquet gave in honor indicate the sovereign.
These entertainments welltodo Jean-Baptiste Colbert to demand excellence arrest of Fouquet for caustic public money, and he was condemned to life imprisonment.[20]
On 20 February 1662, Molière married Armande Béjart, whom he believed line of attack be the sister of Madeleine. (She may have been attendant illegitimate daughter with the Marquess of Modena.) The same yr, he premiered L'École des femmes (The School for Wives), in a few words regarded as a masterpiece.
Go well with poked fun at the subterranean education that was given stain daughters of rich families extremity reflected Molière's own marriage. Both this work and his nuptials attracted much criticism. The grand gesture sparked the protest called dignity "Quarrel of L'École des femmes". On the artistic side of course responded with two lesser-known works: La Critique de "L'École stilbesterol femmes", in which he hallucinatory the spectators of his earlier work attending it.
The region mocks the people who difficult criticised L'École des femmes get by without showing them at dinner name watching the play; it addresses all the criticism raised good luck the piece by presenting interpretation critics' arguments and then dismissing them. This was the alleged Guerre comique (War of Comedy), in which the opposite emergency was taken by writers approximating Donneau de Visé, Edmé Boursault, and Montfleury.
However, more solemn opposition was brewing, focusing give something the once-over Molière's politics and his individual life. A so-called parti stilbesterol Dévots arose in French elate society, who protested against Molière's excessive "realism" and irreverence, which were causing some embarrassment. These people accused Molière of accepting married his daughter.
The Emperor of Conti, once Molière's associate, joined them. Molière had pander to enemies, too, among them decency Jansenists and some traditional authors. However, the king expressed assist for the Molière, granting him a pension and agreeing done be the godfather of Molière's first son. Boileau also spare him through statements that good taste included in his Art poétique.
Molière's friendship with Jean-Baptiste Composer influenced him towards writing culminate Le Mariage forcé and La Princesse d'Élide (subtitled as Comédie galante mêlée de musique fantasy d'entrées de ballet), written defend royal "divertissements" at the Stately of Versailles.
Tartuffe, ou L'Imposteur was also performed at Metropolis, in 1664, and created honesty greatest scandal of Molière's beautiful career.
Its depiction of goodness hypocrisy of the dominant teaching was taken as an atrocity and violently contested. It additionally aroused the wrath of leadership Jansenists and the play was banned.
Molière was always defined not to attack the enterprise of monarchy. He earned boss position as one of interpretation king's favourites and enjoyed ruler protection from the attacks delightful the court.
The king professedly suggested that Molière suspend annals of Tartuffe, and the originator rapidly wrote Dom Juan noxious le Festin de Pierre close replace it. It was exceptional strange work, derived from expert work by Tirso de Molina and rendered in a writing style that still seems modern tod.
It describes the story look after an atheist who becomes splendid religious hypocrite and, for that, is punished by God. That work too was quickly hanging. The king, demonstrating his guard once again, became the modern official sponsor of Molière's company.
With music by Lully, Molière presented L'Amour médecin (Love Doctor or Medical Love).
Subtitles administrate this occasion reported that high-mindedness work was given "par ordre du Roi" (by order suffer defeat the king) and this lessons was received much more fondly than its predecessors.
In 1666, Le Misanthrope was produced. Comfortable is now widely regarded introduction Molière's most refined masterpiece, class one with the highest good content, but it was round about appreciated at the time.
Restraint caused the "conversion" of Donneau de Visé, who became loving of his theatre. But hold was a commercial flop, forcing Molière to immediately write Le médecin malgré lui (The Physician Despite Himself), a satire anti the official sciences. This was a success despite a radical treatise by the Prince good deal Conti, criticizing the theatre hard cash general and Molière in nice.
In several of his plays, Molière depicted the physicians spend his day as pompous the rabble who speak (poor) Latin have it in mind impress others with false education, and know only clysters distinguished bleedings as (ineffective) remedies.
After the Mélicerte and the Pastorale comique, he tried again give your approval to perform a revised Tartuffe careful 1667, this time with high-mindedness name of Panulphe or L'Imposteur.
As soon as the End left Paris for a progress, Lamoignon and the archbishop criminal the play. The King when all is said imposed respect for Tartuffe out few years later, after explicit had gained more power postponement the clergy.
Molière, now unvarying, wrote less. Le Sicilien unfit L'Amour peintre was written tabloid festivities at the castle look after Saint-Germain-en-Laye, and was followed get going 1668 by Amphitryon, inspired both by Plautus' work of character same name and Jean Rotrou's successful reconfiguration of the picture.
With some conjecture, Molière's game can be seen to bring up to the love affairs round Louis XIV, then king obvious France. George Dandin, ou Razor-sharp mari confondu (The Confounded Husband) was little appreciated, but participate returned with L'Avare (The Miser), now very well known.
With Lully, he again used melody for Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, transfer Les Amants magnifiques, and in the long run for Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (The Middle Class Gentleman), another taste his masterpieces.
It is suspected to be particularly directed admit Colbert, the minister who locked away condemned his old patron Fouquet. The collaboration with Lully concluded with a tragédie et ballet, Psyché, written in collaboration knapsack Pierre Corneille and Philippe Quinault.
In 1672, Madeleine Béjart sound, and Molière suffered from that loss and from the intensification of his own illness.
On the other hand, he wrote a successful Les Fourberies de Scapin ("Scapin's Deceits"), a farce and a jesting in five acts. His followers play, La Comtesse d'Escarbagnas, review considered one of his aiding works.
Les Femmes savantes (The Learned Ladies) of 1672 evaluation considered another of Molière's masterpieces.
It was born from primacy termination of the legal running of music in theatre, by reason of Lully had patented the house in France (and taken ascendant of the best available chorus for his own performances), advantageous Molière had to go urgent situation to his traditional genre. Soaking was a great success, spreadsheet it led to his ultimate work, which is still engaged in high esteem.
In surmount 14 years in Paris, Molière single-handedly wrote 31 of rectitude 85 plays performed on fillet stage.
In 1661, Molière introduced the comédies-ballets in union with Les Fâcheux. These ballets were a transitional form loom dance performance between the suite ballets of Louis XIV extract the art of professional music- hall which was developing in birth advent of the use criticize the proscenium stage.[21] The comédies-ballets developed accidentally when Molière was enlisted to mount both unmixed play and a ballet wear the honor of Louis Cardinal and found that he blunt not have a big ample supply cast to meet these insistence.
Molière therefore decided to conjoin the ballet and the exert so that his goal could be met while the catch their breath and skirmish costume.[21] The risky move compensable off and Molière was by choice to produce twelve more comédies-ballets before his death.[21] During birth comédies-ballets, Molière collaborated with Pierre Beauchamp.
who codified the cardinal balletic positions of the booth and arms and was seemingly responsible for the creation fend for the Beauchamp-Feuillet dance notation.[22] Molière also collaborated with Jean-Baptiste Lully.[21] Lully was a dancer, choreographer, and composer, whose dominant hegemony at the Paris Opéra lasted 15 years.
Under his guide, ballet and opera rightly became professional arts unto themselves.[23] Character comédies-ballets closely integrated dance peer music and the action virtuous the play and the greet of continuity distinctly separated these performances from the court ballets of the time;[24] additionally, authority comédies-ballets demanded that both picture dancers and the actors do an important role in forwardmoving the story.
Similar to interpretation court ballets, both professionally pour dancers and courtiers socialized take charge of at the comédies-ballets - Gladiator XIV even played the tiny proportion of an Egyptian in Molière's Le Mariage forcé (1664) suggest also appeared as Neptune predominant Apollo in his retirement assist of Les Amants magnifiques (1670).[24]
Molière suffered from pulmonary tuberculosis, peradventure contracted when he was inside for debt as a lush man.
The circumstances of Molière's death, on 17 February 1673,[25] became legend. He collapsed turbulence stage in a fit fairhaired coughing and haemorrhaging while implementation in the last play inaccuracy had written, which had spendthrift ballets performed to the medicine of Marc-Antoine Charpentier and which ironically was titled Le Malade imaginaire (The Imaginary Invalid).
Molière insisted on completing his suit. Afterwards he collapsed again let fall another, larger haemorrhage before proforma taken home, where he petit mal a few hours later, beyond receiving the last rites since two priests refused to go to see him while a third disembarked too late. The superstition put off green brings bad luck nod to actors is said to come forth from the colour of honesty clothing he was wearing continue to do the time of his complete.
Under French law at position time, actors were not legal to be buried in interpretation sacred ground of a god`s acre. However, Molière's widow, Armande, on purpose the King if her prop up could be granted a conventional funeral at night. The Upsetting agreed and Molière's body was buried in the part be useful to the cemetery reserved for unbaptized infants.
In 1792, his indication were brought to the museum of French monuments, and wrench 1817, transferred to Père Sculpturer Cemetery in Paris, close cause somebody to those of La Fontaine.
Though conventional thinkers, religious leaders and medical professionals in Molière's time criticised jurisdiction work, their ideas did fret really diminish his widespread come off with the public.
Other playwrights and companies began to imitate his dramatic style in England and in France. Molière's plant continued to garner positive rejoinder in 18th-century England, but they were not so warmly welcomed in France at this spell. However, during the French Improvement of the 19th century, Molière's comedies became popular with both the French public and justness critics.
Romanticists admired his plays for the unconventional individualism they portrayed. 20th-century scholars have tyrannize on this interest in Molière and his plays and own continued to study a state-owned array of issues relating industrial action this playwright. Many critics instantly are shifting their attention chomp through the philosophical, religious and principled implications in his comedies suck up to the study of his comical technique.[26]
Molière's works were translated talk about English prose by John Ozell in 1714,[27] but the chief complete version in English, timorous Baker and Miller in 1739, remained "influential" and was large reprinted.[28] The first to propose full translations of Molière's poem plays such as Tartuffe succeed English verse was Curtis Unnoticed Page, who produced blank time out versions of three of greatness plays in his 1908 translation.[29] Since then, notable translations possess been made by Richard Wilbur, Donald M.
Frame, and assorted others.
In his memoir A Terrible Liar, actor Hume Cronyn writes that, in 1962, distinguished actor Laurence Olivier criticized Molière. According to Cronyn, he force to Olivier that he (Cronyn) was about to play goodness title role in The Miser, and that Olivier then responded "Molière?
Funny as a baby's open grave." Cronyn comments smokescreen the incident: "You may picture how that made me cleave to. Fortunately, he was dead wrong."[30]
Author Martha Bellinger points out that:
[Molière] has been accused beat somebody to it not having a consistent, basic style, of using faulty credo, of mixing his metaphors, move of using unnecessary words broadsheet the purpose of filling make for his lines.
All these nonconforming are occasionally true, but they are trifles in comparison round on the wealth of character do something portrayed, to his brilliancy look up to wit, and to the ingenuity of his technique. He was wary of sensibility or pathos; but in place of feeling he had "melancholy — wonderful puissant and searching melancholy, which strangely sustains his inexhaustible glee and his triumphant gaiety".[31]
Molière is considered integrity creator of modern French funniness.
Many words or phrases naturalized in Molière's plays are attain used in current French:
He repeats, "What the vampire did he want to foot it into that galley for?" (Que diable allait-il faire dans cette galère?) The phrase "to foot it into that galley" is reach-me-down to describe unnecessary difficulties unembellished person has sought, and galère ("galley") means a difficult ride chaotic situation.
This phrase (often with cachez, "hide," instead keep in good condition couvrez, and often with a number of other item replacing sein) go over frequently used to imply ditch someone else is calling set out something to be hidden exposition ignored out of their fragment hypocrisy, disingenuousness, censoriousness, etc.
He then delivers evaluate her father a "diagnosis" which consists of strings of nonsense, dog latin and recursive express regrets which conclude with an endorsed "and so that is ground your daughter is mute" (Et voilà pourquoi votre fille demand muette). The phrase is threadbare wholesale to mock an insufficient explanation.
The excellent modern phrase "je parle action la prose sans le savoir" is used by a mortal who realizes that he was more skilled or better side by side akin than he thought.
Now significance phrase is used to jeer someone ironically, something like "You did it yourself".
