EDITORS COMMENTS
Molière's "Les Femmes Savantes" (The Learned Women), written in 1665 and first performed in 1666, is a satirical comedy that pokes fun at the pretentiousness and absurdity of intellectual elitism. In this scene from Act Three, Scene Five, the character Ariste, played by Molière himself, attempts to engage in a scholarly debate with the learned women of the play. The image captures a pivotal moment in the scene, where Ariste, feigning ignorance, exclaims, "Pardon me, sir, I don't speak Greek!" as he watches the women engage in a heated discussion using scholarly terminology. The expression on Ariste's face is one of amusement and delight at the absurdity of the situation. The women, oblivious to Ariste's lack of understanding, continue their debate, believing they are impressing him with their erudition. Molière masterfully uses this scene to highlight the absurdity of intellectual snobbery and the folly of those who value knowledge over common sense and human connection. This print, dating back to the original performance of "Les Femmes Savantes," is a rare and valuable glimpse into the world of Molière's theatre. It offers a unique perspective on the play and its enduring themes, which continue to resonate with audiences today.
