Moliere wrote 30 plays in his life. Girls' School, Miser, Hypocrite and George Jordan are all his representative works. Miser is a comedy. Moliere, the original author, is a famous French comedy writer in the17th century. His works are full of anti-feudal spirit. In this play, the author vividly depicts the ugly face of a miser who loves money like life and gets rich by marrying and having children.
Moliere is good at shaping artistic images with strong generality. Abagong became synonymous with meanness. The characters in Moliere's novels are vivid, but a little thin, close to what critics call "flat characters" Moliere's comedies mainly follow the principles of classicism, with concentrated conflicts and rigorous structure. Moliere often uses farce to create a comedy atmosphere and enhance the ironic effect of comedy. In this paper, the composition, purpose and means of teasing are discussed in depth, so that readers can more clearly understand the comedy effect of teasing in the play. The art of teasing is characterized by the conflict of characters' behaviors. The behavioral conflict mentioned here includes the language of the characters in the works, because language has become the most important part of the characters' behavior in comedy works. As a form of artistic expression, teasing must have the following characteristics: How does a son tease his father from the contradictory sides of Clent and Albagon? Clent fell in love with Marianne, but his father Albagon wanted to marry Marianne, which made Clent very angry. Coupled with poverty, he was forced to borrow usury.
The teased object often acts in the trap designed by the teaser in advance. The father is penniless and the young people are desperate. No wonder the son wants to curse his father, which is the main sign of teasing; Judging from the attitude of conflict, ridicule is not a tit-for-tat, irreconcilable, open or exposed collision, but gentle, which is the basic condition for ridicule to be established; Judging from the teaser's psychology, he may also fight back, but the result is often self-inflicted, helpless and even dumbfounding. Miser is full of this delicious teasing color. First, the composition of the teasing role The teasing role in The Miser is centered on the protagonist Albagon, forming a radial structural system. Falaer and Albagon-The servant taught his master that Falaer was a special servant. He used to be a rich boy. Out of love for Albagon's daughter Alice, he worked as a servant for Albagon. Albagon wanted to marry his daughter to anselmo for money. As a result, Falaer and Albagon clashed. In Falaer's view, Albagon resisted everything and was stubborn by nature. As soon as he hears the truth, he shouts, and as soon as he hears the truth, he will stare forever. It is impossible to convince him directly. Falaer had to make a detour, teasing and pretending to flatter Albagon, hoping that his master would follow suit. It is described in the article that when the host asked him to express his views, Falaer said, "But you can't be wrong. The big truth and the small truth are yours." "You have no reason, never." When Albagon repeated the phrase "no dowry" to his daughter many times, Falaer deliberately said, "This is a very good reason! This determines everything! " "No dowry means beauty, youth, family status, fame, wisdom and integrity."
(Act II, Scene V) When his purpose failed, her flattery to Albagon turned into merciless ridicule and teasing. A servant teased his master. Arrow is different from Falaer. He is a servant to the core. In Ajian's view, Albagon is a "heartless person with the most ruthless heart and the tightest hand". Speaking of his kindness, speaking of his kindness, it is really a dry and barren land, and he hates the word' pay'. In a word, he loves money more than fame, honor and morality. He twitched at the sight of someone reaching out. "(Act II, Scene IV) Arrow followed Cleonti, who had a sharp conflict with his father Albagon. Out of loyalty to his master, and because he was directly abused by Albagon, Arrow wanted to tease Albagon. Teasing is everywhere in this play, and the elements of teasing characters also exist in the relationship between characters at all levels. In addition to the teasing relationship centered on the protagonist Albagon, it also exists in other character relationships, such as Master Jacques teasing Falaer. Second, the purpose of teasing The purpose of teasing shows different characteristics because of the different personal values of the teaser, so that the story can avoid similarities and be fascinating. Teasing is not to kill first, but to let the teased person act in the trap set by the teaser in advance, so as to achieve this goal and make him feel happy in the delay. Falaer's purpose is to win the favor of Albagon, and then get his permission to realize his love with Alice; Cleonti's purpose is to have money to marry Marianne, but Marianne is the person that Alba just wants to marry, so it is Cleonti's purpose to take money with others. Flosina's purpose is to get money from Albagon first, which is the nature of brokers. Then there is the purpose of revenge after the first wish is shattered; Master Jacques teased Albagon and his son in order not to offend both sides, while the purpose of teasing Falaer was to get back at Falaer and tease him to please his master. In order to punish Albagon's cruelty, Ajian teased Albagon and helped Clent. Third, the teasing means Because of the different purposes and identities of the teasers, the teasing means they adopt are also different. Starting from different purposes, they adopted specific practices that are in line with their respective identities. Falaer was born into a noble family, and "arrogance" is his nature. But in order to get Alice, he had to hide his identity and work as a servant for the stingy Albagon. In order to please Albagon, he had to curry favor with him: "I tried my best to humble myself and join him as a policeman;" "How to pretend to be congenial to him, agree with him and please him." In his view, "teasing" means doing what you like, praising his motto, his shortcomings and his actions, not afraid of being too diligent. When the disgusting compliment of Al (Act I, Scene V) is combined with its purpose, it constitutes teasing. As a result, the usurer turned out to be Albagon. A son will not only be robbed of his sweetheart by his father, but also be exploited by his father. Coupled with his father's arrogance, it is natural for his son to tease his father. Flosina and Albagon-The agent teases the object of work. Flosina is an agent who runs errands in the middle and makes money by cleverness. In order to get or borrow money, she flatters Albagon in every way, but this excessive compliment sounds like euphemistic irony and ridicule. Flosina praised Albagon's youth like this: "I saw a 25-year-old man, older than you." "Sixty years old is a prosperous time, and you are now in your prime." "Oh, my God! Look at this stripe! You have a sign of longevity in this place! I will say 100 years old first, but in fact you have to live 120 years old. " "You have to bury your children and your children's children."
(Act I, Scene V) In order to please the master, when Master Jeanjacques of Albagon prepared meals and was afraid of spending money, Falaer told the truth that "a husband lives on it, not a student lives on it", which was obviously teasing Master Jacques, but actually teasing the meanness of Albagon. Albagon also countered Falaer's ridicule, but this kind of counterattack had to give up. Clent, the son of Albagon, and his father formed two kinds of teasing: teasing for money and teasing for robbing Mariana. Because of Albagon's stingy nature, Cleonte borrowed money everywhere, and the coincidence of borrowing money declared this behavior unsuccessful; Because Arrow stole Albagon's money box hidden in the yard for Cleon out of resentment, it became a magic weapon for Cleon to coerce Albagon into submission, making Albagon choose the former between money and Marianne, thus achieving the goal of getting Marianne, resulting in a strong drama teasing effect; Clint's trick to get Marianne is very unique. Unable to take it by force, Cleon took the method of making a big profit. When Abagong asked him to meet Marianne, he showed his heart to Marianne in the form of his father's spokesman, and skillfully gave Marianne a generous meeting gift through Abagong's diamond ring, which made Abagong feel very sad. When Albagon forced him to order him to be Laozi, he and Flosina planned a trick to change the building to what he liked. Just when Klein was at a loss, the servant Errol stole Albagan's money box. At the point where Albagon was suffering from losing money, Clent pushed the ridicule to a climax. The most acute conflict between Albagon and the people around him is his son Clent, not only because his son wants to use his money, but also because his son and he are the same lover, and his counterattack means is also teasing. In order to let his son get married without spending his money, he arranged a rich widow for his son; In order to verify whether his son still cares about Marianne, he pretended to give Marianne to Clint. When his son pretends to be "reluctant", he naturally denies his son's idea, which seems to be both forbearing and reasonable. Once clermont saw through this little trick and said that he would never give in, Albagon's teasing achieved the expected goal-verified his son's idea, and at the same time fell into an embarrassing situation. Flosina is a broker who mixes money through media protection and fiber pulling, and this profession itself has the nature of ridicule. In order to get money, in the face of such a stingy person as Albagon, Flosina should not only be a matchmaker, but also please Albagon everywhere. Because the purpose of media protection is to make money, and even if you become a media protection, you may not get the money. You must try to win the favor of Albagon. Because she learned from Arrow that Albagon was a "person with the most ruthless heart and the tightest hand", she found Albagon's "impressionable place"-this constituted Flosina's first teasing of Albagon. First, she praised his youth and spirit. "He can live to be one hundred years old" and "He should live to be one hundred and twenty years old". The purpose is to guide Albagon to marry a young wife, which is where Albagon is easily moved. When Albagon asked for Mariana's bride price, Flosina once again kept his appetite alive, and cleverly said, "Enter 12,000 francs" to satisfy his greed, which is also his most "impressionable place"; When Albagon was worried that young people didn't like him as a "peer", Flosina's first teasing reached the extreme. She made up a lie that Marianne hates young people, "only loves old people" and "especially likes a nose with glasses" (Albagon wears glasses), which makes Albagon extremely excited; She praised all his shortcomings: his strange clothes and ugly appearance were "simply charming" and should be "painted". When Bagong asked him to judge who was right or wrong with his daughter, he didn't know what to judge at that time, and he was sure that Albagon was right, even Albagon was surprised; His reason for doing this is "you can't be wrong, the truth is yours, big or small." You have no reason, never "; When he learned that Alice was going to get married, although he was caught off guard, he catered to Albagon's wishes by ostensibly praising "no dowry". Because "I'm trying not to stimulate him, which is more conducive to achieving my goal." "If you contradict him face to face, you will make things worse. To deal with some people, we can only start from the side. They resist everything, irreconcilable and stubborn by nature. As soon as they hear the truth, they yell at the sky, and as soon as they hear the truth, they stare all the time, so I hope they will follow suit and only do circuitous work. You flatter for a pretence, but it's easy to get the result ... "
In the fourth act, when Clint and Marianne are depressed because they can't fall in love, Flosina expresses sympathy and is willing to find a way to help them get rid of Albagon's idea of marrying Marianne. She deeply understood the fatal weakness of the miser's love for money in Albagon. So he set a trap for people to pretend to be young ladies and be his wife, and wrote in the marriage certificate that they would give him all her property. Because Ajian stole money from Albagon, things took a huge turn. Klein has mastered the fate of Albagon, and this time, it is too late to start a comedy tease. Even so, the comic effect of this ridicule is more obvious. Master Jacques and A Jian are not protagonists, but their appearance also reflects the performance of the protagonist's stingy character. Here, let's talk about Master Jacques's teasing of Falaer. Master Jacques is the chef and driver of Albagon. Jacques bears a grudge against Falaer for buttering up his master and being embarrassed everywhere. In other words, Falaer's teasing led to his teasing of Falaer. When Alba just lost his wallet and became suspicious, Jacques took this opportunity to get back at Falaer, saying that he saw Falaer steal it. This kind of teasing led to the conflict between Albagon and Farrell. Albagan failed to find out the whereabouts of his money, but he also cheated out the love relationship between Falaer and Alice, which made Albagan's trust in Falaer suddenly turn into hatred, and Jeanjacques breathed a sigh of relief. Arrow is Clent's footman. It is for this reason that Albagon was mean to him, thought he was too in the way, suspected him of stealing, insulted him and searched him. A Jian is loyal to his master Cleant and runs around to borrow money for him. As soon as this loan was exposed, A Jian naturally became the enemy of Albagon. A Jian hated Albagon so much that he had the idea of teasing him: "I'm really going to steal him for what he did." I believe that stealing him can be said to be endless. "(Act II, Scene I) When clermont was at a loss because Albagon insisted on marrying Marianne, Ajian stole Albagon's money and found a solution-because in Albagon's eyes, money was his life, and when he mastered his own money, his fate was completely controlled by others. This is a fatal trick of a sword on Albagon. In the above ridicule, Albagon is undoubtedly the central figure being ridiculed, and in addition to this main ridicule, some minor ridicule contents are interspersed, which makes this work "baggage" endless and full of strong comedy effect; And this series of ridicule, mostly around the word "money", makes the character and fate of Albagon, the central figure, tied tightly to the word "money" and finally fell at the foot of the word, which not only realized the miser's character of treating money like life, but also achieved the comic effect of "tearing it up for people to see". "Slim and graceful, natural and unrestrained" and impeccable, even his lung disease and his cough are commendable. Although Flosina's flattering words may seem disgusting, this disgusting flattering beauty has turned into a heartbreaking ridicule for this particular object. The end of this ridicule ended in Flosina's failure, because Albagon's stingy nature determined that he would not "get carried away" by giving Flosina a penny because of temporary excitement. However, this led to Flosina's second teasing of Albagon.
