Though much beloved and widely produced, Molire's satirical comedies pose a problem for those reading or staging his works today: how can a genre associated with biting caricature and castigation deliver engaging theater? Instead of simply dismissing social satire as a foundation for Molire's theater, as many have done, Larry F. Norman takes seriously Molire's claim that his satires are first and foremost effective theater.Pairing close readings of Molire's comedies with insightful accounts of French social history and aesthetics, Norman shows how Molire conceived of satire as a 'public mirror' provoking dynamic exchange and conflict with audience members obsessed with their own images. Drawing on these tensions, Molire portrays characters satirizing one another on stage, with their reactions providing dramatic conflict and propelling comic dialogue. By laying bare his society's system of imagining itself, Molire's satires both enthralled and enraged his original audience and provide us with a crucial key to the classical culture of representation.
