George Dandin, Ou Le Mari Confondu

George Dandin, ou Le mari confondu

by Moliere

George Dandin, a wealthy peasant, marries Angélique, the daughter of a nobleman. However, Angélique's family, particularly her father, M. de Sotenville, disrespects George due to his social standing. Angélique is secretly involved with a young nobleman, Clitandre, and George, plagued by suspicion, tries to catch them in the act. Despite his efforts, the lovers manage to escape his attempts to expose their affair. The play is a humorous exploration of social class, the complexities of marriage, and the consequences of jealousy and deception.
