What if the greatest threat to love… is the attempt to control it?
In this richly engaging Chesterton Radio broadcast from Atchison, Kansas, we step into the brilliant comic world of Molière—where jealousy masquerades as wisdom, control disguises itself as virtue, and the fear of being fooled leads men to become fools themselves.
Through The School for Wives and The School for Husbands, Molière reveals a truth as unsettling as it is hilarious: the more tightly we try to manage love, the more certainly it slips through our fingers.
With warmth, wit, and a touch of G.K. Chesterton-style paradox, this episode explores:
Why control destroys what it seeks to protect
The hidden fear beneath jealousy
The surprising strength of trust and freedom
And why comedy often tells the truth better than tragedy
This is not just a discussion of two classic plays—it is a reflection on human nature itself.
