    Study Notes

    Le théâtre au temps de Molière

    • Règne de Louis XIV: Louis XIV ruled France for 72 years, establishing absolute monarchy. His court was located in Versailles.
    • Royal patronage of the arts: Louis XIV, a patron, supported the arts, including playwrights like Molière, Lafayette, de Sévigné, and La Fontaine.
    • Two major theatrical genres: Tragedy and comedy were prominent.
    • Tragedy: Featured high-ranking characters facing tragic fates. Corneille and Racine were leading playwrights.
    • Comedy: Focused on provoking laughter and reflecting the era's social issues through humor and ridicule.
    • Molière's inspirations: Molière drew inspiration from ancient comedies (e.g., forced marriages), medieval farces (visual humor, short format, grotesque situations), and Italian commedia dell'arte (stereotyped characters, extravagant costumes, improvised dialogue).
    • Commedia dell'arte: A popular Italian theatrical form featuring stock characters (zanis and vecs) and improvisational elements on a basic storyline.
    • XVIIth century playhouses: Three major theatres in Paris (Hôtel de Bourgogne, Théâtre du Marais, and Palais-Royal) hosted many plays by different troupes.
    • Public performances: Performances usually occurred in the afternoon. Audiences could be seated in the parterre, galleries, boxes, or even on the stage for the wealthy.
    • The Comédie-Française: Established in 1680 by Louis XIV, this theatre continues to be a prominent French theatre company today, creating popular comedic plays alongside Molière and Jean-Baptiste Lully.
    • Religious opposition: Despite popularity, some religious authorities criticised theatre creators for perceived immorality and lack of adherence to religious beliefs. Molière's death was marked by a secret burial due to his status as a playwright, which suggests disapproval from certain parties.
