4.5* for this full cast recording using Richard Wilbur's translation.

This is the 4th play in the digital audiobook of "The Molière Collection" - the plays just keep getting better! However, unless you are a big Molière fan (as I am), these plays should not be listened to too close together as they have enough similarities that it could strike a listener as repetitive. ( )

J'ai dû lire cette pièce pour un cours introductif de littérature française, et j'ai été surpris que je l'ai aimé tellement. Le personnage Agnès est mignon et drôle parce qu'elle est si innocent, et sa relation avec Arnolphe est amusant à cause de leurs differences. Son personnage est une contraste fort à sa nature douce — il est grincheux et il jure fréquemment dans ses soliloques. L'école des femmes est une comédie avec des personages et situations qui vous feront rire. ( )

Kadınlar Mektebi bitti. Daha önce Molière'den Cimri'yi okumuştum, bu kitapla birlikte yazarın 2 tane kitabını okumuş oldum.

Kadınlar Mektebi oyununu beğendim ama bu oyunun okunmaktan çok izlemeye uygun bir oyun olduğunu fark ettim. Fırsat bulursanız eğer bu kitabı okumadan önce sahnede izlemenizi tavsiye ederim. ( )
