"The Bores: A Comedy in Three Acts" by Molière is a funny play from the 1600s that shows how annoying people can ruin your day. The story follows Éraste, a guy trying to win over Orphise, but he keeps getting interrupted by a bunch of tiresome characters. These boors, like Alcidor and Lisandre, are super full of themselves and never stop talking, making it impossible for Éraste to spend time with Orphise. Molière uses funny conversations and situations to make fun of how people acted in society back then. The play is a mix of fun and making a point about how silly people can be, especially when it comes to showing off and getting in the way of love. In the end, Éraste finds a way to overcome all the annoying people.
The Bores: A Comedy in Three Acts
