The Doctor Despite Himself is a success…

August 1666 CE

The Doctor Despite Himself is a success despite a moral treatise by the Prince of Condé, criticizing the theater in general and Molière's in particular.

In several of his plays, Molière depicts the physicians of his day as pompous individuals who speak (poor) Latin to impress others with false erudition, and know only clysters and bleedings as (ineffective) remedies.
