Imaginary_Invalid_Critique

Imaginary Invalid Critique The Imaginary Invalid, presented in one act, was a play about Monsieur Argon’s hypochondria and the situations that arose because of his “illnesses.” Surrounded by a very capable cast, Argon makes the best out of Molière’s last piece. It was definitely worth seeing, because this French farce kept you on your toes wondering what would happen next. Argon and his maid, Toinette, combine to keep quick whips about each other. Argons’ wife, Beline hires a conniving lawyer who constantly grabbed Beline’s butt. It appeared as though the two were having an affair, but Monsieur Bonnefoy did not do a very good job at portraying this. Two of the most comical actors were the Diafoiruses. Thomas Diafoirus and his father were both doctors, but very incompetent. Argon attempted to marry off his older daughter to Thomas, but Angélique already had a man picked out. She wanted the suave Cléante to marry her. However, because of his illnesses, Argon was intent on Thomas getting the goods so he could get free medical attention. Thanks to Beralde, Argons brother, and Toinette, the play ended with everyone being happy except for Beline, who argon, play, very, because, getting, two, toinette, thomas, stage, out, monsieur, cast, though, situations, set, scene, one, older, off, music, money, marry, man, illnesses, great, french, found, entire, during, dressed, doctors, different, diafoiruses, daughters, costumes
