1673 Health Invalid Meditates Moliere Plays Poor Sick Unwell Argan Malade
EDITORS COMMENTS
This print captures a scene from Moliere's famous play "Le Malade Imaginaire" (The Imaginary Invalid), where the protagonist Argan is depicted meditating on his poor state of health. The year is 1673, and Moliere's brilliant portrayal of a man consumed by hypochondria and imaginary illnesses still resonates with audiences today.
Argan, the wealthy but unwell man at the center of the play, is shown deep in thought as he contemplates his various ailments. His expression conveys both physical discomfort and mental anguish, highlighting the absurdity of his self-diagnosed conditions.
Moliere masterfully weaves together comedy and social commentary in this satirical exploration of health, wealth, and human folly. Through Argan's character, he exposes the ridiculousness of those who prioritize their own imagined illnesses over genuine concerns.
As we gaze upon this historical image, we are reminded of Moliere's enduring legacy as one of France's greatest playwrights. His sharp wit and keen observations continue to entertain and provoke thought centuries after they were first penned.
This print from Mary Evans Picture Library serves as a visual reminder of Moliere's genius and the timeless themes explored in his plays. It invites us to reflect on our own attitudes towards health, illness, and what it means to truly be well.
