Fyodor Dostoevsky

Please respond to the following quotation for your blog due November 23rd:

"To study the meaning of man and of life — I am making significant progress here. I have faith in myself. Man is a mystery: if you spend your entire life trying to puzzle it out, then do not say that you have wasted your time. I occupy myself with this mystery, because I want to be a man."

-- Fyodor Dostoevsky from personal correspondence (1839)

Satire in The Misanthrope

Focus on the use of satire in Moliere's The Misanthrope.  How do the characters contribute to the definition that says "satire" is "the use of humor, irony, exaggeration, or ridicule" that "expose[s] and criticize[s] people's stupidity or vices."
