The hypocrite is not only the pinnacle in the history of drama, but also the heyday of Moliere's criticism of social reality and anti-feudal and anti-religious rule.
Hypocrite is a satirical comedy, which focuses on exposing and cracking down on religious swindlers and hypocrites. This disgraced aristocrat, a Defoe, put on a religious cloak and pretended to be a "conscience teacher", which puzzled Olgun, a wealthy Parisian businessman, and his mother, Madame bernal, and won their support at home. Dorina, the maid, was sober-minded and sharp-eyed. She was the first to see through Dawu's hypocritical moral face and led Olgun's ex-wife, Emile, his ex-wife's daughter Mariana, his son Damis and others to fight resolutely and effectively against religious swindlers.
As soon as the opening curtain of the play "Hypocrite" opened, Dorina revealed the true face of the answer: Defoe's gluttony and lethargy. As soon as he appeared, Dorina laughed at his pretentious confession and crocodile tears. More importantly, she understands Doop's hypocritical and lewd and extremely ugly psychology. She made it clear to Mrs. bernal that Dave's real intention in forbidding visitors was to "envy his wife." After the appearance, Defoe took a handkerchief out of his pocket and asked Dorina to cover her bare chest before speaking, saying that it would "ruin people's hearts and make them feel guilty". Dorina retorted, which made him feel ashamed. Answer Difu not only wants to be Mariana's husband, but also tries to flirt with the beautiful young emir. Dorina is the most resolute and resourceful in the struggle against Olgong's marrying his daughter, Ansiefu. On the one hand, she bravely exchanged angry words with Olgun and pointed out the absurdity and harm of this marriage. On the other hand, she also encouraged the cowardly Maryana to rise up against his father. She first persuaded the young lady that her love should be decided by herself. Then sarcastically, deliberately praised Defoe and praised this marriage, which finally gave the young lady the confidence to resist, and then made up for the gap between the young lady and the lover. In order to delay the wedding, she came up with many excuses, joined hands with Damis and Emil to fight against Answer Defoe, especially mobilized Emil, the object secretly coveted by Answer Defoe, which played a vital role in thoroughly exposing the false appearance of Answer Defoe. Dorina actually became the most active organizer in this anti-religious and anti-feudal struggle. Compared with Olgun's conservative stupidity, Damis' impatience and Mariana's weakness, although she is a servant, she is endowed with better spiritual quality.
Moliere, whose real name is Jean-Baptiste Boquelin, is a French comedian, actor and drama activist. Founder of French ballet comedy. Moliere is his stage name, which means ivy in French. Representative works include moaning without illness, hypocrite, miser and so on.
Creative characteristics: Moliere lived in the Renaissance when the bourgeoisie flourished and feudal rule declined day by day. He sympathizes with the working people, exposing the fatuous and decadent aristocrats, deceitful monks, moaning landlords, "gifted scholars" who pretend to be knowledgeable, the bourgeoisie who started from exploitation and tried to be "elegant" and greedy usurers ... He described the ugly image of the exploiting class from all aspects. But he hasn't noticed the formed workforce, so the positive characters in his works are often the servants, tenants and craftsmen of the mocked. These people always use clever means to be nice to each other on the spot, so that the exploiters are criticized in the laughter of the audience.
Because of Moliere's careful and in-depth observation of human feelings, his works have a strong flavor of the times. His works depict bourgeois families, aristocratic salons, palaces, other provinces and rural areas, and show the face of French society in the second half of the17th century with realistic brushwork. Most of Moliere's comedies are social satires, and the characters are stereotyped and single. Although this kind of characters are slightly thin and superficial compared with the complicated characters in Shakespeare's works, they are more recognizable and vivid after careful abstraction, generalization, induction and even exaggeration by the author, and even reach the pattern of characters, which is more deeply rooted in people's hearts and fascinating.
