Les Femmes savantes (French Edition)
Don't go looking for what they do on the Moon; Get involved in what they DON'T at home, where everything's run upside-down. It's just not seemly, and for many reasons, that a woman study to know so much of abstract things. To raise children with good behavior, to run the household, supervise the help, and rule expenditures thriftily ought to be her study and philosophy.
Our fathers were sensible on this subjet; they said that a woman knows enough when she has elevated her native capacity to know a sportcoat from a pair of pants. Theirs didn't read, but they lived, well. Their household, all their learned conversation; their books, a thimble, thread and needle with which they'd work on the trousseaus of their girls.

Women nowadays are far from those ways; they want to write, become celebrities. No knowledge is too deep for them, and here in France more than other paces. They let themselves in on the secrets of sociology, and I'd say they know everything they don't need to. They know how the Moon moves, and the pole staar, Venus, Saturn and Mars, that I have nothing to do with. And, in this vain knowledge, they go looking so far, they don't know how how my soup's cooking, which I do need.
The help aspire to science to please you, and all do only what they have to do. Reasoning is the occupation of all my house, this reasoning that has banished all reason. One burns the roast while reading a best-seller, The other dreams up a verse when I ask for a drink. Finally, I see your example followed by them; one poor servant would be left, at least, who was not infected with this bad air, and damned if you haven't chased her off because she speaks nonstandard English. I tell you, Sister, this whole rout offends me because, as I've said, to you I address myself.
I don't like this gang of Latin-lovers, especially this Professor Trissotin. It's him whose verse you've trumpeted-- all his lines are like billiard balls-- you look for what he's said after he's said it. And in my opinion, his tone's crackly. Je trouve que cela en vaut la peine: Another reread before the exam.
This play has all of the things I'm supposed to be looking for in regards to the exam, but more than that it is the best of the three. It is funny, it's dramatic duh and I can very well see it play out on stage. Oct 05, Laurence R. I definitely like this play after having read it twice in less than a year! May 30, Lara rated it it was ok.
En effet, elles sont apparemment stupides, qu'elles se croient instruites ou non. Apr 10, Nukalurk rated it liked it Shelves: May 11, J. I kind of like this one better that School for Wives, even though both are great. This is a great example of what happens when dumb people think they are smart. Il ridiculise ces femmes. Les femmes pouvaient soit se marier, soit rentrer chez les nones.
A un moment, il fallait bien se douter que les femmes allaient leur balancer leur fil et leur aiguille dans leur sale gueule. Les femmes, elles, n'en avaient pas le droit. Et au final, le mari a raison! Le gendre sexiste a ce qu'il veut!
Qui est vu positivement dans cette histoire?? On ne serait pas sorti de l'auberge, dis donc! I read this book as a school project, it was a punishment from the teacher. I thought that I would be bored out of my mind. But I thought wrong. This book is funny, it has irony, sarcasm and a great plot. Don't judge the book by how old it is or how over read it is. To be honest, this is just an old fashioned chick flick. Henriette wants to marry Clitandre, who doesn't meet Philaminte's the mom expectations. Philaminte wants her daughter to marry an overrated and obnoxious poet named Trissotin I read this book as a school project, it was a punishment from the teacher.
Philaminte wants her daughter to marry an overrated and obnoxious poet named Trissotin. So many characters come in action and do stupid things that I would consider this book a comedy. Don't forget that Moliere was one of the funniest men of his time.

What I'm trying to say for all passionate French readers out there who want to read older classics but still enjoy them, this book is a match. Enjoy your book date! Aug 13, Antarc rated it did not like it Shelves: I am so disappointeeeeeeeeeeeeeeed. And never has one of his books bored me before. Even Tartuffe which I didn't like a lot was an enjoyable book. However, I just didn't like this one. I found it boring, though the writing, the comedy, the characters and the critic are very well-thought.
