More about the book
Moliere's sharp satire explores the medical profession through Sganarelle, whose wife claims he is a brilliant doctor, forcing him to reveal his skills only under duress. In another classic, Monsieur Jordain's relentless pursuit of social status highlights the absurdity of snobbery as he longs to escape the middle class and mingle with the gentry. Both works cleverly critique societal norms and the human condition with humor and wit.
