Moliere: a short biography, works

One of the seventeenth-century courtiers' furniture had a son who was intelligent and non-destructive. But he did not want to continue his father's business. The young man loved theater, especially comedies, until his self-oblivion. And therefore, he devoted his entire life to the theatrical work. Even after three and a half centuries his name is known to every schoolboy. The great comedian was called Jean-Baptiste Moliere. A short biography of the classics of drama became the subject of works by many authors, including Mikhail Bulgakov.

Gift of the writer

When the future comedian was only ten years old, his mother died. The father married again, the boy also sent to study law and family business. Already at the age of eighteen the son of an upholsterer was a lawyer. But neither the right nor the family profession attracted the youth. One day in a secular evening, where, among other guests, was none other than Cyrano de Bergerac himself, he heard an interesting phrase by Moliere. A brief biography of the author of the famous comedies begins precisely from that moment. Although, it is worth saying that at that time he was not yet Moliere, but had his father's surname. But having heard on that significant day from a certain gentleman a philosophical lecture on joy and pleasure, as the main purpose of man, he realized that he would give up the title of an upholsterer and create his own theater. After all, nothing so pleases and does not bring pleasure to people, as a spectacle.

To fulfill this dream helped Moliere his innate gift to writing. He became not only the director of the theater, but also an actor and author of plays.

New Theater

The first attempt failed. The theater was ruined, and its director was in a debt prison. Moliere changed his mind in many ways, his brief biography full of falls and ups. However, like the life of any great personality. Coming out of detention, he created a new troupe and went to Lyon.

Jean-Baptiste Moliere absorbed his knowledge of foreign drama. A brief biography of the author of "Tartuffe" and original plot compositions of his works confirm the influence of the Italian theater of masks on his work.

Speech at the Royal Palace

The King of France decided to pamper himself with a spectacle and ordered his associates to convene the best actors. Corneille's play fell not to the court. What can not be said about the comedy "The Enamored Doctor," which was loudly applauded by both the courtiers and Louis XIV himself. On this event, one of the actors, whom Moliere had been holding with his attorney, told the Registry in a colorful manner. A brief biography of the classic of the French comedy and a detailed description of his work are set forth in the book of Lagrange.

"Funny minions"

This comedy was a success. Without the intrigues of enemies and envious persons, Lengrange's biography did not manage. Jean-Baptiste Moliere, the short content of the "Funny Ironies", according to the author of the "Register", was forced to publish in order to avoid plagiarism. In the play we are talking about girlish nonsense, which comes from "novels, poems, songs, sonnets and verses." Someone Ribu wanted to steal the manuscript, but, as you know, he did not succeed.

Moliere borrowed epic traditions, incessantly improvised and eventually became the creator of a new and unique genre. The basis of this genre was not so much entertainment as instruction. "Zhemannits" put Jean-Baptiste Moliere on time. A brief biography of the great comedian, written by Lagrange, tells about the favorable attitude of the king to this play. After all, in these very years he fought with zealousness, which was ridiculed by the author of the play.

"Lesson for wives"

In this play reflects the biography of Moliere. The summary of the story boils down to the fact that a certain person, disappointed in women, decided to take on the upbringing of a young village girl, and make her an ideal wife. The second wife of the comedian was twenty years younger than him and was either a younger sister or a daughter of his stage friend.

In his comedies Moliere ridiculed all sorts of human vices. His characters have become common names. His plays are staged by modern theaters around the world.

Jean-Baptiste Moliere died at an advanced age, according to the standards of that time. He was fifty-two. He was in his lifetime as an actor, and so it was necessary to bury him outside the cemetery. The crowd raged and prevented the burial. The actors conducted Moliere on the last journey in the deep night like a criminal, not a great classic.
