How do you understand the significance of the play hypocrite to our present society?
Moliere's "hypocrite" contains serious critical spirit and social and historical content in laughter and scolding, and also has many inspirations for us. Moliere once pointed out that the responsibility of comedy is to correct people's ills in entertainment, and I think the best way to carry out this task is to attack the bad habits of this century through funny descriptions. This is the basic program of his creation. At the same time, he repeatedly emphasized the irony function of comedy in the preface of hypocrite: serious lessons, even if they are comprehensive, are often not as powerful as irony; Nothing can convince most people more effectively than describing their shortcomings. Turning bad habits into everyone's laughing stock is a great blow to bad habits.
