Talk:Molière
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
'je voudrai savoir pourquoi Molière est plus célebre'
"was a French theatre writer, director and actor, one of the masters of comic satire" I do think that Moliére deserves a butter introduction than that...
'... he assumed the pseudonym of Molière, inspired by the name of a small village in Southern France.'
I believe that there is no historic proof of this. My family is from the village of Moliere (close to Le Vigan) and we would have been very proud of this, but unfortunately there is, as far as I know, absolutely no proof of it. It is true, though, that J.B. Poquelin started using this Nom de scence while touring the south of France. I'm editing the page to add "possibly" to the sentence.

[edit] Moliere & Michel Baron?
I have seen material suggesting that there was a love between mrs. kuhn io and that it affected Moliere's marriage. Any truth to these allegations? Haiduc 02:17, 12 January 2006 (UTC)
[edit] Vandalism
As of 29/09/2006, acts of vandalism have been noted on this page. They include the deletion of numerous parts of the articles, as well as the mentions "YOU SUCK" and "DUHDUHDUH", retards. I have restored the page to its latest version, prior to the adding of the inappropriate comments and changes. For more details, check the history of the page.
[edit] Persistent vandalism
Once this article has been restored to its full, encyclopedic form, can there please be a lock on edits? I could practically just go in and delete the whole entry right now and, considering some jackoff seems bent on its senseless destruction (i.e., not many people know of Moliere to begin with, so random, puerile, witless and unoriginal acts of e-terrorism are pretty vain and inconsequential), I'm surprised a lock hasn't been in order since September.
Aside from being an irritation to those who actually give a bloody damn about French literature, this looks bad. Wiki already suffers a mild notoriety for being a pin cushion for childish wankers' antics, and the caps lock'ed garble glaring at the top of the page where there used to be an article is about as sad of a mess as I've ever seen on here. —The preceding unsigned comment was added by 65.71.245.81 (talk) 19:44, 11 December 2006 (UTC).
[edit] An excellent source for someone who is interested and has the time.
Moliere: A Theatrical Life by Virginia Scott is pretty much the best source you're ever going to find. If I had the time, I'd add stuff, but my finals are killing me. If anyone is truly interested in spending the time to make this a quality entry, then I strongly suggest diving in the book.

Took out a mention of Moliere causing the term Don Juan to refer to a womanizer; Don Juan was a well-known character before Moliere's time.
