Why is Molière considered the french Shakespear ?
He's not bad, but he can't hold a candle to other playwrights of his time, namely Corneille and Racine.

because of SJW leftist destroying the west. They want us to only read black women from now on or gaymen
He was more influential for the language itself.

C'est une question de prose, ou plutôt de finesse prosaïque, et non d'ecellence théatrale ni même artistique. Au demeurant, Molière était un artiste de talent ; ne soyons point trop sévères.
