Summary "Œuvres complètes, Tome 4" by Molière is a collection of theatrical works written in the 17th century. This volume includes several of Molière's plays, among which is "Amphitryon," a comedy that explores themes of love, deception, and the complexities of human relationships in a humorous manner. The characters include gods, such as Jupiter and Mercury, as well as mortals like Amphitryon and his wife Alcmène, setting the stage for a blend of myth and reality. The beginning of "Amphitryon" introduces the themes of misunderstanding and mistaken identity. It opens with Mercury discussing the plans of Jupiter, who has taken on the form of Amphitryon to seduce Alcmène, the general's wife, while he is away at war. As the scene unfolds, we meet Sosie, Amphitryon's valet, who is bewildered by his encounters and the confusion surrounding his master’s return. The dialogue sets a witty tone, establishing the comedic elements that Molière is known for, while also hinting at deeper philosophical questions about fidelity and the nature of love.
