School For Husbands by Molière

"School for Husbands" is a comedic play that delves into the themes of love, marriage, and the contrasting approaches to spousal control. The narrative centers around two brothers with opposing views on how to treat their respective wards, whom they intend to marry. The older brother advocates for strictness and authority, keeping a tight rein on his young ward, while the younger brother espouses freedom and trust in his own. As the story unfolds, the characters engage in a series of humorous and revealing situations that challenge their beliefs about relationships and ultimately lead to a conclusion that favors liberality over rigidity, suggesting that love cannot be forced or controlled, but rather should be nurtured with understanding and freedom.
