The book "Middle-class Gentleman" (original title "Le Bourgeois gentilhomme") is a comedy by the French playwright Moliere. The main character, Mr. Jourdain, a middle-class burgher, wants to become a nobleman and tries to imitate the aristocrats in his manners and ways of life. The comedy reveals the absurdity and ridiculousness of Jourdain's efforts to separate himself from his social status and establish himself at a higher level. At the same time, the author is critical of the concepts of honor, dignity and true values. The book "Middle-class Gentleman" is a funny and dark comedy that leaves the reader with deliberate mockery of social norms and humorous situations.
