Synopsis: Much to the horror of his friend, Philinte, Alceste rejects the social conventions of the time which makes him tremendously unpopular. He laments his isolation in a world he sees as superficial and base. But he cannot help but love the playful Célimène, a consummate flirt whose wit and frivolity epitomize the manners that he despises. She refuses to change, charging Alceste with being unfit for society because he hates humanity. However, he does have other women pining for him, particularly the prudish Arsinoé and the honest Éliante. When Alceste insults a sonnet written by the powerful noble Oronte, he is called to stand trial. Refusing to dole out false compliments, he is charged and humiliated and resolves on self-imposed exile. Arsinoé, in trying to win his affection, shows him a love letter Célimène wrote to another suitor. He discovers that Célimène has been leading him on. She has written identical love letters to numerous suitors and broken her vow to favour him above all others. He gives her an ultimatum: he will forgive her and marry her if she runs away with him to exile. Célimène refuses, believing herself too young and beautiful to leave society and all her suitors behind. His best friend, Philinte, becomes betrothed to Éliante. Alceste then decides to exile himself from society.
Roles: M.5/6. F.3/4.
