Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The School for Husbands" by Molière is a play written in 1661. Two brothers take opposing approaches to raising their future wives, who are sisters under their guardianship. Sganarelle controls and dominates his intended bride Isabella, while his older brother Ariste treats Léonor as an equal. Their contrasting methods lead to dramatically different outcomes, as one brother finds romantic success while the other fails so spectacularly that he becomes an unwitting accomplice in his own beloved's scheme to pursue another man.
