Summary "Oppineita naisia: Viisinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä" by Molière is a comedic play likely written in the 17th century. The story revolves around the conflicts between traditional roles and the pursuit of intellectualism, particularly through the character of Philaminte, who desires her daughters to embrace knowledge and philosophy. The play critiques societal expectations and suggests a tension between love and intellectual aspirations. The opening of the play introduces several characters, including the sisters Armande and Henriette, who disagree about the importance of marriage versus education. Armande advocates for a philosophical approach to life, dismissing the idea of marriage as beneath her aspirations. In contrast, Henriette expresses a desire for love and companionship, suggesting that marriage should be based on affection. Their conversation sets the stage for exploring themes of love, intellect, and the respective roles of women in society, as tensions arise from differing views on whether learning or love should take precedence in their lives.
