My dear Eliante,
Why must you choose Alceste to wed if Celimene and him don't work? Don't you see his blunt truth is offensive, and he lacks compassion? He does not accept people's flaws, and is sure to mock the person of them. Keep in mind that I am here for you, and I can give you what he cannot in a relationship.
Everything I love about Haley & Elan’s relationship in one panel.
So lovers manage, in their passion's cause,
To love their [fellas] even for their flaws.
(Moliere's The Misanthrope, Act II, lines 83-4).
--For all you D&D OOTS nerds out there!
Everything you love is here
Compose yourself; this anguish that you feel...
(Moliere's The Misanthrope, Act IV, line 113).
Love, while wonderful, isn’t black and white, and it sure isn’t simple. There are lots of different types of love and we experience different types with the various people in our lives. Here are the types of love:
Romantic Love. This is often what people think of when they...
I'd like to think my love for Alceste is a romantic love, though I've admitted the truth to myself before:
When some beloved hand has done us wrong
We thirst for retribution--but not for long;
However dark the deed that she's committed,
A lovely culprit's very soon acquitted.
(Moliere's The Misanthrope, Act IV, lines 131-34).
So perhaps my love for Alceste will always be an unrequited love of mine-- his feelings for Celimene will always override mine. Though that's alright. Time cures all desires-- and besides, I have my new husband to grow a romantic love with. I look forward to taking his hand in marriage and spending my days with him.
Things will be good. They always are :)
Groovy! "Stuck in the Middle With You" or, as originally titled, "Stuck in the Middle", is a song by Joe Egan and Gerry Rafferty and performed by their band ...
For my new hubby— went my cousin and her suitors were wrapped up in their gossips, you and I were there, subject to it all. At least it was all worth it in the end because now, I’m stuck with you ‘til life, unto death.
—For my Philinte.
Why Can't We Be Friends?
If we lived in a word where everyone was completely honest, no one could coexist with each other. We would be gnawing at our friend’s faults and there would be no chatter of any pleasant experiences. Honesty is good in moderation *cough* Alceste…
Which is why we should always “Let the heart speak, and let our sentiments not mask themselves in silly compliments”
Eliante, here! Hoping to bring some love and acceptance into the mixture! Sure, His conduct has been very singular lately;
Still, I confess that I respect him greatly.
The honesty in which he takes such pride
Has--to my mind--its noble, heroic side.
(Moliere's The Misanthrope, Act IV, lines 31-34).
Alceste is blunt, no doubt, but perhaps his candor is something to be embraced.
Today I discovered a letter full of appalling texts, word after word of just badmouthing other people, and guess who wrote it? Turns out it was Celimene. Here, let me give you an example,
"And as for the sonneteer, who has taken it into his head to be witty, and insists on being an author in the...
Dear Acaste,
I hope things are good and well for you. I just thought it would be a nice consolation to know that my darling cousin has been left alone by the blunt Alceste. I hate to say such things, but I know that she'll end up just fine -- she's a lovely girl -- as will you. I just know that the world will come together and everyone whom was subject to such gossip cessions at my beloved cousin's home, will all end up just fine. I hope we may once reunite for a shindig soon.
Sincerely,
Eliante
A Sweet Proposal, but An Even Sweeter Man
I can't believe it! Alceste finally dared to approach me and ask me to marry him! And you know, when push came to shove-- I couldn't do it! He was all "Madam, your virtuous beauty has no peer..." and I was all, "Were I to offer him this hand of mine, your friend Philinte, I think, would not decline" (Moliere's The Misanthrope, Act 5, lines 342, and 354-55). Can you believe that? I swear, that's what came out! And you know what? I'm really excited!
I finally agreed to be with Alceste, and he expected me to uproot my whole life and move into the beginning of nowhere! I’m only 21!
My dear cousin, you'll end up with a wonderful man who accepts you for your flaws and all. Alceste is long gone now, and rebuked from us. I wish you the best always, and I just know you'll do great things with your years to come.
Love,
Eliante
"Love, as a rule, affects men otherwise,
And lovers rarely love to criticize...
If she has any blemish, fault, or shame,
They will redeem it by a pleasing name.
The pale-faced lady's lily-white, perforce;
The swarthy one's a sweet brunette, of course;
The spindly lady has a slender grace;
The fat one has a most majestic pace;
The plain one, with her dress in disarray,
They classify as beaute negligee...
The mean one's witty, and the dull one's kind;
The chatterbox has liveliness and verve;
The mute one has a virtuous reserve.
So lovers manage, in their passion's cause,
To love their ladies even for their flaws."
- Moliere's The Misanthrope (Act II, lines 265-66, 269-76, 280-84)

For my dearest Alceste:
--If Celimene should grant some rival's suit--
I'd gladly pay the role of substitute;
Nor would his tender speeches please me less
Because they'd once been made without success.
-- (Moliere's The Misanthrope, Act IV, lines 67-70)
I’d spent the past couple of years applying myself to my marriage — thinking about marriage, reading about marriage, and trying forms of couples’ therapy.
In this nonfiction article, Elizabeth Weil represents a kinder, more open-minded Alceste, and her husband Dan mimics Celimene-- this of course, is the ideal version of Moliere's The Misanthrope, as Mrs. Weil accepts her husband for his weird flaws and annoying tendencies. You all should check it out-- I hope you enjoy it's humor!
I love you.
