I only read The Misanthrope by Molière and not his other plays for a class of mine, and happened to enjoy it a lot. Basically it is a sophisticated comic drama that satirizes the hypocrisies of French aristocratic society. What really surprised me, even though I read this in Danish, is the rhythm. The ping-pong between the characters is very well created and adds a magnificent flow to the play that carries on the reader to the very end. Even though this is my very first Molière, it really demonstrates his incredible skills as a playwright and I am very much looking forward to read more of his theatrical plays.
