Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, is one of the most illustrious figures in French literature and theatre. Among his many celebrated roles, his portrayal of Sganarelle in "L'École des maris" (The School for Husbands) stands out as a testament to his versatility and comedic genius. "L'École des maris," a comedy in three acts, was first performed in 1661 and is one of Molière's earlier works. The play revolves around two brothers, Sganarelle and Ariste, who have contrasting views on how to manage their wards, Isabelle and Léonor, respectively. Sganarelle, the more authoritarian of the two, believes in strict control and surveillance, while Ariste adopts a more liberal and trusting approach.

Molière's embodiment of Sganarelle brought a unique depth to the character, blending humor with a critique of authoritarianism and the folly of excessive control. His performance was marked by a masterful use of physical comedy, expressive facial gestures, and impeccable timing, which not only entertained audiences but also highlighted the absurdity of Sganarelle's rigid methods. Molière's Sganarelle is often remembered for his exaggerated self-importance and his misguided attempts to assert dominance, which ultimately lead to his own undoing.

The role of Sganarelle in "L'École des maris" is significant as it showcases Molière's ability to satirize societal norms and human behavior through comedy. His portrayal resonated with contemporary audiences and continues to be a reference point for actors and scholars studying Molière's work. The character's enduring appeal lies in Molière's skillful balance of humor and social commentary, making Sganarelle a memorable figure in the canon of French theatre.
