| Summary | "Ο κατά φαντασίαν ασθενής" by Molière is a comedic play written in the late 17th century. The story centers around Argán, a hypochondriac who is obsessed with his health and surrounded by physicians, while also trying to arrange a marriage for his daughter, Angélique. The play delves into themes of medical quackery and the absurdity of excessive concern for one's health. The opening of the play introduces Argán as he calculates his recent medical expenses, revealing his obsession with various treatments and remedies that have seemingly failed to improve his health. He is left alone in his illness, growing frustrated with his servants, particularly the sarcastic Tuannetta, who challenges his claims of being unwell. As the scene unfolds, Argán expresses his desire to marry his daughter to a doctor, seeking to fortify his access to medical care through family ties, setting the stage for a comedy filled with misunderstandings and witty exchanges among the characters.
