'''''Le Misanthrope, ou l'Atrabilaire amoureux''''' (''The Misanthrope, or The Malcontent in Love'') is a 1666 comedy of manners by [[Moliere|Molière]], written in the typical Alexandrine verse <ref>a line of twelve syllables, with a strong caesura (or pause) in the middle, roughly equivalent to the English iambic hexameter</ref> of the French classical drama. Alceste, the title character, looks down on the society, believing it hypocritical and disdaining the false compliments which are considered polite. Unfortunately, the very qualities which are horrifying to him are exemplified in Célimène, the woman he loves.
