Monsieur Jourdain The Middle Class Gentleman Molière, 1670
Monsieur Jourdain Philosophy Master
JOURDAIN: But now, I must confide in you. I'm in love with a lady of great quality, and I wish that you would help me write something to her in a little note that I will let fall at her feet. TEACHER: Very well. Is it verse that you wish to write her? JOURDAIN: No, no. No verse. TEACHER: Do you want only prose? JOURDAIN: No, I don't want either prose or verse. TEACHER: It must be one or the other. JOURDAIN: Why? TEACHER: Because, sir, there is no other way to express oneself than with prose or verse. JOURDAIN: There is nothing but prose or verse? TEACHER: No, sir, everything that is not prose is verse, and everything that is not verse is prose. JOURDAIN: And when one speaks, what is that then? TEACHER: Prose. JOURDAIN: What! When I say, "Nicole, bring me my slippers, and give me my nightcap," that's prose? TEACHER: Yes, Sir. JOURDAIN: By my faith! For more than forty years I have been speaking prose without knowing anything about it, and I am much obliged to you for having taught me that.
