Question

One character in this play imagines a person who loses at a rhyming game by thinking “cream tart” rhymes with “corbillon” (“cor-bee-yon”). A play titled for an acting troupe’s “impromptu” performance was written in defense of this other play as part of a literary “quarrel.” A character in this play is briefly believed to be dead after two servants cudgel him off of a ladder. Lycidas (10[1])claims that this play sins “against all the rules of Art” while debating Dorante and Uranie in a rebuttal to critics who considered it obscene. The identity (10[1])of (10[1])Enrique’s daughter is revealed at the end of this play, in which that daughter reads (-5[1])a set of 11 maxims forbidding activities such as picnics and using makeup. Horace is tricked by a character in this (10[1])play who adopts the pseudonym Monsieur de la Souche (10[1])(“soosh”). For 10 points, Arnolphe attempts to (10[1])marry his ward, Agnès (10[1])(“on-YES”), in what Molière (“mole-YAIR”) play (10[1]-5[1])that followed one named for “husbands”? (10[3])■END■ (10[7]0[5])
