One of this author's characters hires a Philosophy Master to teach him about vowels and is delighted to learn that he's spent his life speaking in prose. In one of his works, two would-be suitor's valets pretend to be men of the world in order to reveal that Gorgibus and his daughters Magdelon and Cathos are poseurs. One of his characters renames himself after a tree stump on his estate and keeps his ward Agnès in a nunnery to ensure her innocence. This author of The Affected Ladies and The (*) Bourgeois Gentleman wrote a play whose title character harshly criticizes a sonnet by Oronte and can't help falling in love with the flirty socialite Célimène. In another of his plays, Valère marries Mariane after Orgon is finally convinced of the title hypocrite's deceit. For 10 points, name this French playwright of The School for Wives, The Misanthrope, and Tartuffe.
