The two provincial young ladies reject the suitors proposed by their father as insufficiently refined, only to fall in love with the suitors' valets, disguised as wits. In the provinces, the young ladies' Parisian pretensions were worth mockery, and in Paris, their puffed-up provincial naiveté and self-esteem were laughable, and Molière pleased all possible audiences.

This play constitutes young women of the French court and the royalty of men into a long chapter of misfortune and folly by Mascarille.
