The Miser by Moliere

Moliere delights in stories skewering the vain head of a household. His target this time in The Miser is Harpagon, who loves money more than anything. He has made arrangements to marry a very young girl named Marianne.  However, one major problem exists. Harpagon’s son Cleante loves her too. Meanwhile Harpagon’s daughter loves a man with no money. Something’s got to give in this wild comedy of stolen treasure, backstabbing, long lost heirs, and impossible endings.
