The Love-Tiff

Jean Baptiste Poquelin is better known by his stage name Moliere. He was a 17th century French author known for his comedy. After abandoning a law career Moliere began acting, directing and writing plays in Paris and the surrounding area. The scathing satire in his plays made him several important enemies. Shakespeare gave his characters complexity while Moliere used simplicity to produce his memorable characters. The Love-Tiff is a five act play in which Moliere presents his audience with two pairs of young lovers.
