''The School for Husbands'' is a play written by Molière and originally performed in 1661 in Paris.〔http://www.theatrehistory.com/french/schoolforhusbands001.html〕 It was the first of his full length plays, preceding ''The School for Wives'' by a year.〔http://83.143.248.39/faculty/ndelchev/17thCenturyFrenchTheaterPractice.ppt〕 The plot centers on the suitors of two sisters, each of whom is a ward of each of the two men. One suitor, Sganarelle, is controlling and overbearing of his intended wife Isabella. The other suitor, Sganarelle's older brother Ariste, treats his intended wife Léonor more as an equal. Ariste eventually finds success in his pursued relationship, while Sganarelle fails miserably, so much so, in fact, that he is unwittingly used by Isabella in seeking her preferred courter, Valère.〔 ==Characters== *Sganarelle, 40 years old *Ariste, 60 years old and Sganarelle's older brother *Valère, in love with Isabella *Ergaste, Valère's valet *A Magistrate *A Notary *Isabella, in ward to Sganarelle *Léonor, Isabella's sister, in ward to Ariste *Lisette, Leonor's maidservant 〔https://www.gutenberg.org/cache/epub/6742/pg6742.html〕 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「The School for Husbands」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
