essay

In the play
Misanthrope, there’s a scene when Alceste beg Celimene to tell him that she
didn’t write a letter to Oronte. He said he would fell better if she said that
letter is for a women. When I saw this scene, I laughed and I am surprised by
how ridiculous he could be. He would rather lie to himself then face the truth.

People
sometimes act the same way as Alceste does. Phen Philinte told him that he
attempting to find fault theories of human relationships, what he means is that
Alceste covered his eyes with lies to avoid the fault of Celimene. Everyone
else knows that Celimene is not the type of women who is going to put all her
love to one guy. Even Alceste said that “Celimene might be expressing her love
to there suitors as well.” After all those people’s suggestions about how his
relationship might not turn out the way he think it could be, and it might not
last, he still going toward the wrong path.

Even after Eliante told him that she allow herself to fall
in love for him even though she might just be a second choice. Alceste still
didn’t make the right decision. He don’t want to face the truth that Celimene
doesn’t really love him. Celimene clearly said that he does not deserve her
love.

Alceste
want to try last time, he is about to move away because Du Bois told him that
he heard that Alceste is in danger of arrest. Before he leave, he asked
Celimene to come with him. He knows that Celimene would not like to withdraw
from the society, so he want her to say yes to prove that she love him.
Seriously, he still lie to himself about something that’s clear enough it is
impossible. He is afraid to face the truth, because she is all he has.
Actually, he think that he only have her. He can’t see that he have and deserve
more then that. He is young, rich and attractive and even Eliante love him. Why
can’t he reach for something that is reasonable/

This theory is so true
and it happens to all of us. People naturally want something that is hard or
even impossible to get to satisfy their desire. Some people work harder to
reach this goal but on the other hand, some people hust lose hope and give up
on themselves. The best way to accomplish something is to do what you can so
and just enjoy the prcess. Because you probably gain so much more even you
didn’t realize.
