What price would you pay for wealth? Molière's "The Miser" explores this question with wit and dramatic flair. The protagonist, Harpagon, is a man consumed by his own wealth, a trait that blinds him to the real treasures in life. Molière masterfully uses comedy to unravel a tale of avarice, love, and deception, revealing the paradox of wealth; the more you have, the less you are. This classic play provokes thought on the value we place on worldly possessions, and the lengths we go to secure them. "The Miser" is a timeless satire that will leave readers thoroughly entertained and profoundly enlightened.
