The Imaginary Invalid

The Imaginary Invalid is Moliere’s satirical look at the medical profession. As Argan (the ‘invalid’)’s financial circumstances collapse under the weight of excessive medical bills, made by his own fears and by the unscrupulous behavior of his two physicians, he decides to marry his daughter off to one of his doctors in return for a lifetime of free medical treatments. The idea meets opposition, though, when it becomes clear that the young lady’s affections lie elsewhere. Soon the entire household is involved in an elaborate, uproarious plot to save true love.
