This author wrote a play in which Dorante secretly shares his high views of an aristocratic life with Mr. Jourdain. He wrote another work in which Valere is falsely accused of being a thief by the cook Master Jacques, and both Harpagon and Cleante love Mariane. Another of his works details the pompous Acaste and the gossiping Clitandre, who fight for the affection of Celimene with the protagonist, Alceste, who eventually gives up his love to become a hermit. This author of The (*) Bourgeois Gentleman is perhaps most famous for a work in which the title hypocrite becomes arrested after seducing Damis' mother Elmire in Orgon's estate. For ten points, name this French author of The Miser, The Misanthrope, and Tartuffe.
