(Alfred Rayney) 1867 1922 Waller, Alfred Rayney Amphitryon Wikipedia page about this book: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Amphitryon_(Moli%C3%A8re_play) Produced by Bob Colomb, and David Widger "Amphitryon" by Molière is a classical comedy play written during the 17th century, specifically in the baroque era. This work explores themes of love, identity, and deception, centered around the clever manipulations of the god Jupiter as he disguises himself as the husband of Alcmene, while Alcmene's actual husband, Amphitryon, is away at war. The play whimsically examines the implications of gods meddling in mortal affairs and the ensuing chaos from mistaken identities. The narrative unfolds with Amphitryon's return from battle, eager to reunite with his wife, Alcmene, only to find that she has already spent the night with Jupiter, who had taken his form. Seeking clarification, Amphitryon becomes embroiled in confusion as his servant Sosie encounters a double, also claiming to be his master, leading to comedic misunderstandings and confrontations. As the plot escalates, various characters grapple with their perceptions of loyalty and infidelity, ultimately exposing the farcical nature of the entire situation. Molière cleverly intertwines humor and serious themes, delivering a timeless exploration of love and human folly. (This is an automatically generated summary.) Reading ease score: 81.0 (6th grade).
