The story follows Monsieur Jourdain, a middle-class merchant who naively aspires to join the upper class, leading him to endure various humiliations while seeking guidance from unscrupulous instructors. His ambition makes him a target for a broke nobleman who exploits him for a lavish lifestyle. Caught in his schemes, Jourdain's wife and daughter navigate chaotic love affairs and a disruptive orchestra and ballet in their home. Ultimately, it is the resourceful servants who must restore order amid the comedic turmoil.

The Doctor in Spite of Himself or The Physician in Spite of Himself or The mock doctor is a comedy in three acts and in prose. Great classic of French literature.

He beats his wife Martine and to avenge herself, she tells the domestics of Geronte que Sganarelle is a great doctor but he will only admit so it if he’s beaten up. Ready to be hanged for his nitpicking with Geronte, Sganarelle is forgiven by a lucky coup de theater and reconciles with Martine.
