Alceste déteste l'entière humanité, y dénonçant l'hypocrisie, la lâcheté et la compromission. Il aime cependant la coquette et médisante Célimène, et se lance en conséquence dans des combats perdus d'avance qui l'acculent à la fuite. Dans cette pièce, Molière critique les mœurs de la Cour de Louis XIV, l'hypocrisie régnant dans cette société du paraître et de l'intrigue arriviste, où les comportements frisent la parodie.

Le viol est-il un tabou dans notre société ? Cinq femmes violées, cinq archétypes de viols perpétrés aujourd'hui, cinq cas inspirés de faits réels et de personnes ayant existé. À tour de rôle, les cinq victimes vont devoir répondre à un interrogatoire et prouver leur "innocence". Ce questionnement qui semble d'abord utile et légitime devient obsessionnel et oppressant. C'est le questionnement de la police, celui de la justice, celui de la société, le harcèlement et la ronde infernale de questions qui vont fondre sur la victime, jusqu'à l'absurde, qui vont faire naître le doute, rendre la victime suspecte et la faire apparaître comme coupable.

C'est alors que le roi Duncan le remercie en lui attribuant effectivement le titre de "sire de Cawdor", après avoir fait exécuter le noble qui portait auparavant ce nom et qui l'a trahi.

In Romeo and Juliet, Shakespeare creates a violent world, in which two young people fall in love.

And yet, this play set in an extraordinary world has become the quintessential story of young love.
