He is widely regarded as one of the greatest masters of comedic theater in Western literature. Molière's plays, such as "Tartuffe," "The Misanthrope," and "The School for Wives," satirized the social and moral aspects of French society during his time, often targeting hypocrisy, religious extremism, and social conventions. Alongside his theatrical success, Molière faced controversy and opposition from both the Church and the ruling class due to his audacious critiques. Despite such challenges, he continued to produce influential plays until his death in 1673. Today, Molière's works remain highly celebrated and frequently performed across the globe, affirming his lasting legacy in the world of theater and literature.
