(no subject)

In The Breakfast Club, when Bender is tearing apart the Moliere book, who thinks the choice of subject matter was intentionally ironic? Seems to me that Bender would very probably like Moliere's plays. After all, they're even raunchier than a Shakespeare comedy, and since they have to be translated they're usually in much more accessible language...

And the humor seems innately more accessible, to me. I like Shakespeare, but I remember reading stuff that I had no clue was funny. Maybe it's the translation, as you say, but it seemed like Moliere had a more modern sensibility.

Perhaps he's tearing up Le Misanthrope.
