1642 Character Corneille Liar Performed Plays
EDITORS COMMENTS
Le Menteur," or "The Liar," is a renowned play written by the French dramatist Pierre Corneille in 1642. This historical photograph print, sourced from Mary Evans Picture Library, captures the essence of the play's most famous character, Dorante, portrayed as "Le Menteur" or "The Liar." Corneille's play is a complex and intricately woven tale of deception and mistaken identity. Dorante, the protagonist, is a young man who, in an attempt to win back his beloved Clitandre, whom he believes has been unfaithful, decides to live a life of lies. He assumes multiple identities and manipulates those around him, leading to a series of comedic and tragic consequences. In this photograph, Dorante is seen in a moment of contemplation, perhaps reflecting on the consequences of his actions or planning his next deception. The expression on his face is one of intense concentration, with a hint of mischief in his eyes, perfectly encapsulating the character's dual nature as a liar and a lover. The play was first performed in Paris in 1643, and its exploration of themes such as love, deception, and the complexities of human nature continue to resonate with audiences today. Corneille's "Le Menteur" is considered a masterpiece of French classical theater and a seminal work in the history of world drama. This photograph print serves as a reminder of the enduring power of the written word and the human capacity for storytelling. The intricate details of Dorante's costume, from the lace collars to the voluminous sleeves, transport us back to the 17th century and offer a glimpse into the opulence and grandeur of the time. This photograph print is not only a beautiful work of art but also a window into the past, offering us a glimpse into the world of Corneille's "Le Menteur" and the character of Dorante, the liar.
