Molière is really the French Shakespeare. I don't mean it about the style, but about the cultural significance he had, and still has in France.

It is rather Shakespeare that is the english Molière

Thanks Philibert for showing the Redhead the standard spelling of "Shakespeare". Thanks Irn0x for showing Philbert that "English" is a proper noun. Let's all make an effort for these educational video comment threads, seeing as the reason we're here is edification.

Seeing as Shakespeare predates Moliere by sixty years, can we not agree that M. Le Hardi is being excessively parochial? The only direction of influence could have been S to M, not vice-versa.

​@@TheJamesRedwood It's not about influence. Molière is more important than Shakespeare to the French. To them, he is the model and standard of a classic playwright, rather than Shakespeare. So it is appropriate for Le Hardi to reverse Redhead's statement - he is just adapting it to the French perspective.

Watch The Breakfast Club to learn how to really Pronounce his Name.

Tartuffe was the first comedy (or book in general) which made me laugh outloud. One of the best school reads ever.

The thing about Moliere's plays is that they're kind of funny when you read one. They're definitely funny when you read the second. But they're hilarious when you read the fifth, and realize they're basically the same play with very minor changes.

I watched an English adaptation of Tartuffe last year as a part of my French class. It was incredible. I'm glad that you reminded me of it.

Crash Course has many different hosts - Mike is one of the best. Can't wait to find out how after centuries of actors being maligned by society that somehow they end up the most important parts of society and so importantly on the front page of TMZ!

I appreciate these videos so much. Thank you!

Wow Crash Course has evolved into basically free university level intro classes.

Thanks Mike! Thanks Crash Course!

I have started liking this series recently.

I highly recommend watching the movie about Moliere, especially since it has all these references to many of his plays.

Love this show! thank you!! :)

Oh ! Mike is here! Love your voice man! Also, Molière 🤓😍😍😍🤓

I adore this show! Very interesting and unlike anything I've ever seen before :) I just wish you would give a little more insight on the acting styles and conventions, as in how would Tartuffe have been acted? I hope this show goes on for a while!

Although I am fluent french speaker, I never thought Molière was such an important figure of French Culture! Thank you bubble!

*Most of my friends are francophone North Africans* , including my first serious girlfriend, and they *all know what is implied when someone says "en langue de Molière"!* ie. in perfect French!

I love this!!!😍💜And I didn't know he was buried there🤔🇫🇷

Was just in a performance of Tartuffe a month ago (I was Damis), I've been waiting so long for this video. Awesome to get some context for a really awesome play.

Great work! :)

J'adore Molière.

I'm kind of sick, which must be why the little animated people waving their arms in the fire made me laugh so much.

Tartuffe is one of the funniest things I've ever read. 👍

Grabs Baguette* I like where this is going

I hope they make videos about one of the famous Norwegian playwrighters like Ibsen or Holberg.

I remember this guy. He's the one who really pumps Bender's nads in The Breakfast Club.

Astonishing how often outrage is "I RESEMBLE THAT REMARK!"

Nice video

For some reason this episode made me wonder if there could ever be a Crash Course Music History. Or Crash Course Opera but maybe that's going too far?

GREAT suggestion. Goodall's effort is great, too - although a little brief; aimed at 20th century broadcast norms, not at the new KZread long-form paradigm.

This episode should be called French Renaissance 2 Renaissance Harder.

There was cartoon series about french theatre guy 20 years ago I've been always mistaken it for Voltaire. Thanks a lot Mike

Hard to listen to him butcher EVERY single french word haha

Seriously Mike! Stop brushing over opera without dedicating an episode to it! Tell the crowd about Monteverdi! Don't tell me that Wagner's idea of the Gesamtkunstwerk didn't have any influence on theatre as a whole because it most certainly did!

Le troisième est le plus mieux.

los del metro respondan xd

What happened to Crash Course Study Skills?? :(

"Moliere is not a fan of rules." Except all his forking plays followed all the rules...

But the play was about someone impersonating a Church official. Why would the church be against that? Did they want to encourage con men to pretend to be bishops?

Was the original version of Moliere's play ever recovered? Religion has such control freaks running them!

People that run things are self-selected according to their controlling aptitude. We need them to be that way, but we also need to be aware of that and moderate it. Lessons such as the censorship of Moliere teach us this complex truth. The behaviour of the pseudo-liberals of the North American universities shutting down free speech emphasise just how long it takes society to learn these things.
