  • Molière

    Moliere was one of the world’s most famous comedy writers. Most of Moliere’s family did not approve of actors. They believed them to be a low social class. His father, who was the upholsterer for the king of France, wanted him to study to become a lawyer. But, Molière’s grandfather encouraged the youth’s interest in the theater. Molière finally gave up his law studies and became an actor. To avoid offending his father and to protect his family from embarrassment he changed his name from Jean-Baptiste Poquelin to Molière.
