"The Misanthrope, or the Cantankerous Lover," a 17th-century comedy in verse by Molière, premiered on June 4, 1666, at the Théâtre du Palais-Royal in Paris, performed by the King's Players.

This play satirizes the hypocrisies within French aristocratic society while also adopting a more serious tone to highlight the imperfections common to all humanity. It distinguishes itself from other contemporary farces by featuring dynamic characters such as Alceste and Célimène, deviating from the flat caricatures typical of traditional social satire. Furthermore, unlike many of Molière's other works, it places a greater emphasis on character development and nuances over plot progression. Despite not achieving commercial success during its initial run, the play has endured and stands as Molière's most renowned work in contemporary times.
