The Jealousy of le Barbouillé
(La Jalousie du Barbouillé)
Produced by Delphine Lettau
"The Jealousy of le Barbouillé" by Molière is a comedic farce written during the 17th century, a time known for its flourishing of classic French literature. This play features the themes of jealousy and marital discord, centering around the protagonist, le Barbouillé, who is troubled by the perceived infidelity of his wife, Angélique. The work exemplifies Molière's skill in portraying the absurdities of human nature and social relationships through humor and satire. In the story, le Barbouillé is a jealous husband who believes his wife Angélique is being unfaithful, leading to a series of comedic misunderstandings and confrontations. As the plot unfolds, Barbouillé's attempts to control Angélique and his interactions with various characters, including a pompous doctor, create chaotic situations that ultimately expose the folly of his jealousy. Angélique, meanwhile, seeks to escape her oppressive marriage and execute some clever deceptions of her own. Throughout the play, Molière explores themes of love, trust, and the absurd nature of jealousy, ultimately delivering a humorous commentary on married life in his time.
