The Bungler pdf

Jean-Baptiste Poquelin (15 January 1622 – 17 February 1673), known by his stage name Molière was a French playwright, actor, and poet, widely regarded as one of the greatest writers in the French language and world literature. His extant works include comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets, and more. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright today. His influence is such that the French language is often referred to as the "language of Molière".

Born into a prosperous family and having studied at the Collège de Clermont (now Lycée Louis-le-Grand), Molière was well suited to begin a life in the theatre. Thirteen years as an itinerant actor helped him polish his comedic abilities while he began writing, combining Commedia dell'arte elements with the more refined French comedy.

The Bungler pdf by Moliere

The Blunderer is a comedy in five acts and in verse.
When The Blunderer was played for the first time in Paris, it obtained a great and well-deserved success. It is chiefly based on an Italian comedy, written by Nicolo Barbieri, from which the character of Mascarille, the servant, is taken, but the ending is much superior to that of the Italian play. Some of the scenes remind us of passages in several Italian "Commedia del' arte" between Arlecchino and Pantaleone, the personifications of impudence and ingenuity, as opposed to meekness and stupidity.
