The Bores is a play written by the French playwright Moliere, whose real name was Jean Baptiste Poquelin. The play is a comedy that centers around the character of Philinte, a man who is constantly surrounded by people who bore him. From his friend Alceste, who is always complaining about society and its conventions, to his love interest Celimene, who is constantly gossiping and causing drama, Philinte finds himself constantly exasperated by the people around him.As the play progresses, Philinte becomes increasingly frustrated with the bores in his life and begins to seek out ways to avoid them. He tries to distance himself from Alceste and Celimene, but finds that they are both too intertwined in his life to completely escape.Ultimately, The Bores is a satirical commentary on the social conventions of 17th century France, and the ways in which people are often trapped by the expectations and demands of society. Moliere uses humor and wit to poke fun at the foibles and flaws of his characters, and to highlight the absurdity of their behavior.ORPH. I really must laugh, and declare that you are very silly to trouble yourself thus. The man of whom you speak, far from being able to please me, is a bore of whom I have succeeded in ridding myself; one of those troublesome and officious fools who will not suffer a lady to be anywhere alone, but come up at once, with soft speech, offering you a hand against which one rebels.This scarce antiquarian book is a facsimile reprint of the old original and may contain some imperfections such as library marks and notations.

HEN. The safest thing to do would be to gain my mother over. My father easily consents to everything, but he places little weight on what he himself resolves. He has received from Heaven a certain gentleness which makes him readily submit to the will of his wife. It is she who governs, and who in a dictatorial tone lays down the law whenever she has made up her mind to anything. I wish I could see in you a more pliant spirit towards her and towards my aunt. If you would but fall in with their views, you would secure their favour and their esteem.
