The Misanthrope, by Moliere.
The Misanthrope not only satirizes the hypocrisies of the French aristocracy, but also succeeds in pointing out the insincerity in all men. Alceste, The Misanthrope, believes that with gossip and deceit all the rage, he can find no one who will speak the truth. His friend, Philinte, assures him that flattery is necessary and gossip should be enjoyed. When Alceste offers an honest opinion about a poem written by the well respected, Oronto, he is threatened with a law suit. To make matters worse, he and Oronto are vying for the affection of the same girl. In the end The Misanthrope decides to retire from society all together.
