Healthy Argan pretends to be riddled with illness; his inheritance-eyeing wife Beline protests familial affection; the small daughter Louison feigns death; Doctor Diafoirus maintains black is white; his nitwit son Thomas presumes to be clever; suitor Cleante impersonates a music teacher; the maid Toinette disguises herself as a doctor--and so on with the rest...
