'George Dandin, ou Le mari confondu' Summary
George Dandin, a wealthy peasant, marries Angélique, the daughter of a nobleman, hoping to elevate his social standing. However, Angélique's family, particularly her father, M. de Sotenville, views George with disdain due to his origins. Angélique, unhappily married, secretly carries on an affair with Clitandre, a young nobleman. George, deeply suspicious of his wife's infidelity, repeatedly tries to catch them in compromising situations. Despite his efforts, Clitandre and Angélique manage to escape, leaving George to grapple with the humiliation of his suspicions and the disdain of his wife's family. The play is a comedic exploration of social class, the dynamics of marriage, and the folly of jealousy. George's attempts to uncover his wife's deceit are met with a series of comical mishaps, leaving him frustrated and ridiculed. The play culminates in a scene where George confronts his wife and her family, exposing the truth of Angélique's betrayal. However, even this confrontation is met with indifference and denial from the family, leaving George to lament his predicament and the illusion of marital happiness.Book Details
