If you have read The Misanthrope I have started reading it and am lost, I am trying to figure out if Philinte believes we should be hypocrites and why. Thanks

Question

I don't see "The Misanthrope" among Shakespeare's works. Are you sure you don't mean Moliere? Anyway, here are some sites that may help.

It's by Moliere...
He doesn't WANT people to be hypocrites, but knows that they have human failings and is more forgiving than Alceste.

Thank you for using the Jiskha Homework Help Forum. Here is a site with the analysis of "The Misanthrope" and yes, it is Molière.
