?Sarah Newsome 3-19-10 2nd Period misanthropist Response The gossip session Moliere reveals in The Misanthrope among Acaste, Clitandre, and Celimene is that of a double ridicule. This confabulation exemplifies Molieres satirical attitude towards the lying of individuals as well as a society which accepts, even forces, such falsehoods. He is equ altogethery exact of Alcastes impliant legality as he is of the other constituents consciousness of falsehood.However, Molieres great satire focuses on the society which instigates twain extremes as he carefully crafts each character and their dialogue. Moliere develops the characters of Philante and Eliante with the staring(a) balance of honesty and forgiveness so the satirical focus is on the fumble society rather than the characters. Philantes character is one of exculpation and acceptance, especially involving his fellow men and his selfless friendship with Alceste.Nonetheless, he is not afraid to suggest the supposition of mo deration when speaking the brutal justice as he stands up to Alceste by saying. you retain a way of bridling at whatever people say whether they approval of blame, your angry spirit is equally insatiate to hear it. Similarly, the observant Eliante notices the nature of Celimene as a -gossip queen and even comments on it aloud when she says to Philante, The conversation takes its unwashed turn, and all our dear friends ears will concisely burn. In such a round-eyed sentence Moliere is able to speak through with(predicate) Eliante and Philante to express his condemnation of Celimene, Acaste, and Clitandre by admitting that deceitfully is constructed and accepted by society. Additionally, Moliere satirizes society by speaking through them in hunting lodge to recognize that while not all people are hypocrites, society is the greatest threat as it accepts the false hypocrisies that do exist.Without the encouragement of suitors such as Acaste and Clitandre, Celimene would conf ine less reason to degrade others. Likewise, without a society so accepting of falsehoods, Alceste would have less reason to be so cynical and disapproving of humanity. Therefore, although Moliere is equally critical of Acastes impliant rectitude as he is of the other characters dominating acceptance of untruth, the occasions greatest amount of satire is focused on the society when compels both extremes.
