"The Middle-Class Gentleman" by Moliere is a classic French comedy satirizing social climbing and pretension. The play follows Monsieur Jourdain, a wealthy bourgeois merchant determined to become a nobleman. Jourdain`s attempts to learn courtly manners and impress the aristocracy, including hiring tutors in various subjects and pursuing a dalliance with a noblewoman, lead to humorous situations and ultimately, his own self-deception. This play is a staple of theatrical literature, examining the themes of social class, affectation, and the pursuit of status.
