Tartuf, or a deceiver. Moliere

The name of the Great Moliere is on a par with such classics of French drama as Jean Rasin and Pierre Cor Nel. Without comedies, it is impossible to imagine the theater of the past and modernity. For several centuries, the “tradesman in the nobility”, “imaginary patient”, “tartuf, or deceiver”, “mean” and many of his other plays do not go from theatrical scenes of the whole world. Moliere created comedies, which, as in the mirror, reflected the whole society, and their heroes were reliable and full of life. His theater influenced the development of not only French comedias, but also contributed to the birth of a new realistic drama throughout Europe.
