''La Nouvelle Colonie or La Ligue des Femmes'' is a comedy in three acts and in prose written by French playwright Pierre de Marivaux. It was first performed on June 18, 1729 by the Comédie-Italienne at the Hôtel de Bourgogne. ''La Nouvelle Colonie'' was a failure, and Marivaux therefore edited and published it as ''La Colonie'' in the ''Mercure de France'' in 1750. The fact that he published it twenty years later shows how important the subject was to Marivaux. He did not accept the way women were treated in France at the time, their humiliating education, and their inferior social status. He was in favour of women's equality, gave them lead roles usually reserved to men, and argues that their frivolity was due to the poor quality of their upbringing rather than nature. In ''La Nouvelle colonie'', he shows women overtly revolting against oppression. == Characters == * Arthénice, noble woman. * Madam Sorbin, craftsman's wife. * Mr Sorbin, Madam Sorbin's husband. * Timagène, noble man. * Lina, Madam Sorbin's daughter. * Persinet, young mand of the people and Lina's lover. * Hermocrate, noble man. * Troupe of women, nobles and poor. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「La Nouvelle Colonie」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
