The subject of medicine in the works of Moliere has been traditionally treated as a matter of satire. While it is important to consider this view and while biographical approaches relating Moliere's personal illness to the content of his medical comedy are illuminating, this study proposes that a plurality of views offers a more complete picture. Such analysis discovers that Moliere's medical comedy is much more than satire, that it contains elements of black humor and even approaches the theater of cruelty in its treatment of sickness and death. The metaphor in this approach is in the perception of a composite image of this part of Moliere's theater, much like the pattern that a kaleidoscope discloses. As we may sort out the various elements that compose the kaleidoscopic impression--light and shadow, color, form, change of image through manipulation of the instrument--there is a similarity in the division of elements in Moliere's medical theater. Light and shadow correspond to the opposition of fact and fantasy in seventeenth-century French medicine and constitute the historical view of his work; color corresponds to the notion of Galenic humor theory and suggests that the comedy of character may be analyzed according to humoral temperaments; form corresponds to the language Moliere used in his medical plays; the change of image occurs in Moliere with the passage of time--his medical comedy being farcical at the beginning of his career and much darker towards the end of his life. The purpose of this approach is to identify these separate elements in order to better understand their function as an organic whole. For this reason, the notion of organic unity is also treated. In an effort to relate Moliere's theater to the present day, this study compares Moliere's work with Artaud's notion of the nature and function of theater, with the two meanings of semiology--sign theory and symptomatology, and using an archetypal approach, concludes with the suggestion that sexuality, death, and medicine form a hidden mythology in these plays.

The problem with which this investigation is concerned is that of revealing certain liberated female traits that are to be found as early as the seventeenth century in certain plays of Moliere. A study of the major events in Moliere's life and of the social climate and salons of his time, together with a close analysis of the plays themselves, is necessary to understand this important aspect of his works. In essence, this study attempts to show how Moliere's women emerge as independent individuals who refuse the role society usually assigns them. Although these female characters are products of the seventeenth century, their actions and attitudes are used in this thesis to indicate a foreshadowing of the twentieth-century, liberated woman.

Le but avec la thèse, c‟est de révéler les moyens du texte de théâtre dans un processus de montage, dont la proposition de la réalisation de ce montage a été fondée sur le processus de collaboration, un nouveau type de création qui s'est développée au Brésil, environ le décennie 90. Ce type de processus « découle de la nécessité d'un nouveau contrat entre les créateurs à la recherche de l'horizontalité dans les rapports de création » (Pavis, 2007, p. 253). Ainsi, le groupe a suivi dans son montage lors des répétitions fermées, ouvertes et véhiculéés dans le cyberespace, en permettant un dialogue plus étroit entre les acteurs, metteur en scène et public / internautes, ce qui rend le montage d'une création collective et publique. C‟est important dire que les Palhaços Trovadores ont fait un travail d‟adaptation du texte à partir de leurs propres besoins, à la poursuite de l'innovation et maintenance de leurs recherches basées sur le langage du clown e des manifestations populaires. / A presente pesquisa apresenta uma leitura e um estudo de O avarento do dramaturgo francês Molière, na montagem teatral O mão de vaca, concebida pelo grupo Palhaços Trovadores, com doze anos de atuação na cidade de Belém do Pará. Para isso, parte-se primeiro de um panorama da época de Molière e da sociedade para a qual escreveu suas comédias, focalizando, em seguida na dissertação, os caminhos pelos quais passou o grupo de palhaços na adaptação e montagem da peça de Molière, cuja proposta de realização fundamentou-se nos princípios do Processo Colaborativo, um novo modo de criação que se instaurou no Brasil, por volta dos anos 1990. Esse tipo de processo “surge da necessidade de um novo contrato entre os criadores na busca da horizontalidade nas relações criativas” (PAVIS, 2007, p.253). Assim, a montagem do grupo seguiu, em ensaios fechados, abertos e veiculados no ciberespaço, permitindo o diálogo mais estreito entre atores, diretor e público/internautas, tornando a montagem uma criação pública e coletiva. É importante ressaltar que os Palhaços Trovadores procuraram fazer um trabalho de adaptação do texto a partir das suas próprias necessidades, na busca de inovação e manutenção de suas pesquisas com a linguagem do palhaço e dos folguedos populares.

L'examen des méthodes d'analyse d'une oeuvre littéraire utilisée s par la psychocritique, l'histoire littéraire, l'histoire culturelle , la sociologie et la philosophie a permis l'élaboration de la notion de ridicule . La confrontation de cette notion de ridicule et des informations recueillie s lors de l'analyse thématique de deux pièces du théâtre de Molière nous autorise à traite r l'oeuvre de Molière comme une source historique . Les problèmes de l'autorité parentale, de l'amour, du mariage, de la situation des femmes et de leur éducation sont des éléments de la vision d'un monde bourgeois que Molière présente à ses contemporains dans les deux pièces retenues pour cette étude: Le Bourgeois gentilhomme (1670) qui nous présente un individu qualifié par l'auteur de "gentilhomme" et Les femmes savantes (1672) mettant en scène la soeur, la femme et les fille s d'un bourgeois. Cette thèse, par l'étude du théâtre de Molière, aide à visualise r la mentalité et les comportements d'un groupe social qualifié de bourgeois, possédant des lignes de force et une homogénéité face aux autres groupes sociaux. Cette bourgeoisie est composée d'individus "traditionnalistes " agressés par le comportement et les idées véhiculées par des membres de leur entourage et des bourgeois "marginaux" rejetant tout ce qui peut ressembler de près ou de loin au monde des bourgeois conformistes. Cette vision confirme l'hypothèse de la bourgeoisie en "mouvement", une bourgeoisie qui "sort de son "ordre" d’origine en accédant a la noblesse et à un autre niveau de culture, issues retenues par Molière dans les deux pièces. / Québec Université Laval, Bibliothèque 2012

Este trabalho tem como tema a relação intertextual entre peças teatrais de Plauto, Molière e Suassuna estabelecida a partir da recorrência de temas e de caracteres desenvolvidos pelo comediógrafo romano na composição da comédia clássica. Para a contextualização das comédias na história e na literatura, foi abordada a questão do riso e do cômico ao longo dos séculos, bem como a relevância e a originalidade de cada um dos autores no panorama teatral. Como objeto de análise comparativa, foram tomadas as peças A Aululária, de Plauto; O Avarento, de Molière; e O Santo e a Porca, de Ariano Suassuna. A proposta deste estudo é mostrar como temas e personagens elaborados por Plauto foram relidos, transformados e integrados à obra de Molière e, posteriormente, à de Suassuna. No confronto entre as obras foi considerada a inovação e a reutilização de efeitos cômicos empregados pelos autores, de acordo com as teorias sobre a comicidade de Bergson e de Propp. A intertextualidade foi o conceito-chave para a análise de aspectos pontuais recorrentes entre as peças, em especial o personagem do avarento. / The present work discusses intertextual relations between theater plays by Plauto, Molière and Ariano Suassuna starting from recurrent themes and characters developed by the classical Roman comediographer. In order to place comedies in a proper historical and literary context, the development of laughter and the comic throughout the centuries as well as relevant and original traits contributed by each of the three playwrights have been analysed. The plays Aulularia (The Pot of Gold) by Plauto, O Avarento (The Miser) by Molière, and O Santo e a Porca (The Saint and the Sow) by Ariano Suassuna were compared in order to show how themes and characters created by Plauto were re-read, transformed and assimilated by Molière and later on by Suassuna. Concepts such as innovation and reworking of comic effects employed by the authors were analysed according to Bergson’s and Propp’s theory of the comic. Intertextuality was as a key concept in the analysis of these recurrent theatrical aspects – in particular the character of the Miser.
