Author Doin, Ernest, 1809-1891
Title Le divorce du tailleur: Pièce archi-comique en un acte
Credits Produced by Rénald Lévesque
Summary "Le divorce du tailleur: Pièce archi-comique en un acte" by Ernest Doin is a comedic play written in the early 1870s. The book primarily explores themes of marital dynamics and the social implications of divorce during a period when such concepts were beginning to gain attention in society. The play is set in a domestic environment, focusing on the interactions between a tailor, his wife, and other characters, revealing a humorous yet critical perspective on marriage and family life. The storyline revolves around Mr. Lefèvre, an elderly tailor, and his assertive wife, Madame Lefèvre. As the couple navigates the potential implications of a new divorce law, tensions surface between the traditional view of marriage held by Madame Lefèvre and her husband’s growing desire for independence. Their nephew, the irresponsible Guillaume, adds to the comedic chaos with his reckless behavior and plans for divorce from his wife, Thérèse. As humorous misunderstandings ensue, orbits of love and ambition emerge, particularly from Rémi, a young worker who idealizes Thérèse and hopes to win her affection once she is free. The climax unfolds in a melodramatic fashion, culminating in the couple's realization of their love and commitment to each other, ultimately rejecting the notion of divorce. Through wit and light-hearted exchanges, Doin critiques societal norms surrounding marriage and highlights the complexities of human relationships. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
