The famous French satirical comedy writer Molière created a large number of comedies in his lifetime, he gave laughter to the audience, and what he left to himself was the endless troubles brought about by unhappy marriages.

At the age of 40, Molière married the actress Almat of his troupe. Yarmat is young, well-dressed, likes to dress up, and is a man of the opposite sex. They often quarreled. As the days went on, the more fiercely they quarreled, and Molière's jealousy and suspicion of his wife's character grew.

Molière loved his wife deeply, but there was nothing he could do about her, and he had to let his distress torment himself. They lived apart for a time, and not long after, they lived together again, and quarrels ensued.

The more he loved her, the greater the distress he brought to himself. During a time when his unhappy marriage agonized him, Molière wrote the play "George Danden", in which the rich peasant Danden married Angelica, the daughter of a poor nobleman. His wife continued to bully and fool him until she could not bear it.

But during a grand celebration at the Palace of Versailles, the comedy happened to be chosen to be staged as a show. Molière himself played Danden, and Angelica was played by his wife, Armmart. Performing this play in front of Louis XIV and hundreds of nobles and noblewomen was a painful self-mockery for Molière.

Fate always seems to be teasing Molière, his tragic marriage has not yet ended, but the tragedy of death has opened the curtain. In order to maintain the company's expenses, Molière had to take sick to the show. On the evening of February 17, 1673, one of Molière's comedy masterpieces, "Moaning Without Illness", was staged at the Théâtre de Paris, France, and Molière played the main role.

The theater was full of people, Molly came on stage with illness, and the audience applauded continuously and the atmosphere was warm. The person in the play " Heart Sick " is a charlatan with a doctor's signboard, not sick and pretending to be sick, while the actor Molière is really sick, often frowning and coughing in pain, and the audience also thinks that Molière performs realistically, and applauds more enthusiastically.

Due to the cough breaking through the throat tube, after the last scene of "No Sick Moaning", when the applause had not subsided, Molière fell down with hemoptysis, and his life was frozen at the age of 51.

Because Molière wrote many satirical plays satirizing the Catholic Church during his lifetime, he was forbidden to be buried by the Church after his death, but fortunately Louis XIV found two priests to secretly bury him in the Catholic cemetery after dusk, so that he could rest in peace.

Today, Morrie is buried in The Lachaise Cemetery, where chopin, Eugène Boudier, Duncan, Wilde and other celebrities were neighbors. The reason why he was buried in this cemetery was also because no one cared about it after the Lachaise Cemetery was opened at that time, and Molière's tomb was moved for advertising, which was not another tragedy for Molière, who was buried in the Catholic cemetery that was difficult to bury.
