Marked by Molière’s clever use of exaggerated passions and good-humoured raillery, The Learned Ladies is a story about two young sweethearts, who, in order to marry, must overcome the attitude of the maiden’s family. Her sensible father and uncle are in favour of the marriage; but unfortunately her father is under the thumb of his wife, who has a ‘terrible disposition’ and ‘a diabolical temper’. Supported by the young girl’s zany, deluded aunt and cynical sister, the mother wishes her to marry Trissotin, a dilittante and mediocre poet at best, who has these three older women completely in his thrall. For these three ladies are ‘learned’: they challenge the wisdom of Plato himself, and their obsession in life is learning and culture of the most pretentious kind. All ends well, however, after many plot twists and turns, as poets duel, the inflated passions rise, false learning is cast down, the sweethearts are united, and finally harmony reigns supreme.
