Summary | "Sganarelle, ou le Cocu imaginaire" by Molière is a comedic play written during the 17th century, specifically in the 1660s. Characterized by Molière's signature satirical style, the play explores themes of jealousy and suspicion in marriage, focusing on the life of Sganarelle, a deluded husband who believes he has been wronged. The story unfolds around Sganarelle, who becomes consumed with jealousy, believing his wife is unfaithful. As events transpire, misunderstandings lead him to confront various characters, including his wife and her supposed lover, Lélie. While Sganarelle grapples with his perceived dishonor, comedic situations reveal the absurdity of his concerns, culminating in moments of confusion and revelation. Ultimately, Sganarelle discovers that his suspicions may have no basis in reality, highlighting both the folly of jealousy and the complexities of marital relationships, while Molière employs wit and humor to critique societal norms surrounding gender and fidelity.
