Description

The miser of the title is called Harpagon, a name adapted from the Latin harpago, meaning a hook or grappling iron. He is obsessed with the wealth he has amassed and always ready to save expenses. Now a widower, he has a son, Cl�ante, and a daughter, �lise. Although he is over sixty, he is attempting to arrange a marriage between himself and an attractive young woman, Mariane. She and Cl�ante are already devoted to each other, however, and the son attempts to procure a loan to help her and her sick mother, who are impoverished. �lise, Harpagon's daughter, is the beloved of Val�re, but her father hopes to marry her to a wealthy man of his choosing, Seigneur Anselme. Meanwhile, Val�re has taken a job as steward in Harpagon's household so as to be close to �lise. The complications are only resolved at the end by the rather conventional discovery that some of the principal characters are long lost relatives.
