Description

Lääkäri vastoin tahtoansa: Kolminäytöksinen komedia by Molière is a three-act comedy written during the 17th century. This play satirizes the medical profession and societal norms surrounding love, marriage, and authority, revealing the absurdities of human behavior through humor. The narrative unfolds in a light-hearted manner while also prompting reflections on personal agency and societal expectations. The plot centers around Geronte, a father who wishes to marry off his mute daughter, Lucinde, to a wealthy suitor, despite her love for Leandre. Sganarelle, the unwilling doctor, becomes a pawn in the plans of others, as he is humorously forced into the role of a physician despite his utter lack of medical knowledge. The comedic tension escalates as Sganarelle’s absurdity is met with the determination of Leandre and Lucinde to be together. Amidst misunderstandings and farcical situations, the play highlights the conflict between parental authority and youthful desire, ultimately leading to the triumph of love over societal constraints.
