The story centers around the social climbing antics of a wealthy bourgeois gentleman, and the lengths to which he will go to achieve acceptance within the upper echelons of French society. With incisive commentary and a sharp wit, Molière skewers the hypocrisies and pretensions of the aristocracy and highlights the dangers of status-seeking at any cost.
