Sganarelle, DOM Garcie de Navarre - Paperback

by Moliere (Author), Charles Mazouer (Editor)

Dom Garcie de Navarre is a heroic comedy, with a jealous prince whose jealousy is a vice that elicits pity rather than laughter. Sganarelle, ou Le Cocu imaginaire is a light comedy or farce, the object of amusement being a grotesque, jealous, and cowardly bourgeois man who believes himself to be a cuckold: a burlesque parody of the tragic.
