"Monsieur De Pourceaugnac" by Molière is a humorous play from the 1600s that makes fun of love, marriage, and people pretending to be something they aren't. It tells the story of Monsieur de Pourceaugnac, a country bumpkin who travels to Paris to marry a woman sight unseen, but he gets caught up in a mess of pranks and misunderstandings set up by some clever people. The woman he wants to marry, Julia, is in love with someone else, so she and her boyfriend work with their smart servants to trick Monsieur de Pourceaugnac with fake identities, made-up illnesses, and silly doctors. As Monsieur de Pourceaugnac tries to find love and fit in, he ends up looking ridiculous, and his plans fall apart in a funny ending.
