La Comtesse d'Escarbagnas

La Comtesse d'Escarbagnas est une comédie-ballet de Molière (musique de Charpentier et ballets de Beauchamp), commandée par Louis XIV pour le remariage de son frère avec la princesse palatine de Bavière, après son veuvage. Cette œuvre nous montre une provinciale, entichée de bonnes manières qu'elle se vante d'avoir apprises à Paris. On considère cette pièce comme le pendant féminin de Monsieur de Pourceaugnac.

By : Molière (1622 - 1673)

La Comtesse d'Escarbagnas


La comtesse d'Escarbagnas, veuve noble d'Angoulême qui vient de faire un voyage à Paris. Elle se vante d'y avoir vu la cour et appris les meilleures manières, mais ne parvient qu'à se rendre ridicule.

Le comte d'Escarbagnas, fils de la comtesse. La pièce nomme deux autres fils sans les montrer, le Marquis et le Commandeur.

Le vicomte, Cléante de son prénom, soupirant en titre de la comtesse ; il est en réalité amoureux de Julie mais leurs amours sont contrariées par la haine que se vouent leurs familles.

Julie, amie de la comtesse et amante du Vicomte. Mais elle se sert en réalité de l'aveuglement de la Comtesse pour parvenir à ses fins avec le Vicomte.

M. Tibaudier, conseiller et soupirant de la comtesse. Amateur de vers et d'auteurs latins, il respecte le vicomte bien qu'il soit son rival.

M. Harpin, receveur des tailles et soupirant de la comtesse. 

Contrairement à monsieur Tibaudier, il est violemment jaloux du vicomte.

M. Bobinet, précepteur du comte.
