The Misanthrope by Molière, one of the most famous comedies of manners of the 17th century, is a work that relies more on character development than on the progression of the plot.

Alceste, although a member of the salons, vehemently rejects their social conventions and becomes disliked by almost everyone due to his "brutal" honesty. The paradox? While he hates flattery and gossip, he is passionately in love with the young widow Célimène, who is perfectly integrated into social life, constantly flirting to remain the center of everyone's attention.

Yagos Andreadis creates in Modern Greek a rhyme that conveys a language that combines the manners of good society with a discourse that is completely understandable and contemporary.
