Summary: "L'Avare" by Molière is a classic comedy written in the 17th century, specifically in the late 1660s. The play revolves around the central character Harpagon, an extremely miserly father who hoards wealth and is determined to marry Mariane, a young woman whom his son Cléante also wishes to marry, setting the stage for immense conflict and humor over love and avarice. The opening of "L'Avare" introduces several key characters and their relationships, beginning with a conversation between Valère and Élise, who express their concerns about their love amidst the constraints imposed by Harpagon's greed. Valère is in love with Élise, but fears Harpagon's reaction to their romance, as he is determined to marry Mariane for her fortune. Simultaneously, Cléante expresses his infatuation with Mariane but is frustrated to find out that his father is also vying for her affection. The opening scenes set up a comedic exploration of love, deception, and the lengths to which characters will go to outmaneuver one another in their quest for happiness, all while contending with Harpagon's insatiable greed.
