L'école Des Femmes by Molière
A possessive, middle-aged man obsessively raises a young woman in ignorance to ensure her fidelity and plans to marry her, but his scheme unravels when she falls in love with a handsome suitor; through farce and sharp dialogue the plot exposes the guardian’s hypocrisy, jealousy, and the contradictions of social pretensions, ending with the lovers’ triumph and a satire of male control over women.
