George Dandin, a rich peasant who wants to climb the social ladder, marries Angélique, the daughter of impoverished provincial aristocrats. By buying up their debts, he earns the right to change his name to "George de la Dandinière," but his in-laws never cease to make it bitterly clear that their social differences have not been abolished. Surprised by Dandin as he is leaving his home, Lubin, a day laborer who doesn't know him, reveals that Clitandre, the local viscount, is courting his wife. If Lubin, who himself is wooing Claudine, Angélique's maid, admits that a woman is free to see whom she wants, George Dandin thinks that marriage is a "chain" that must not be tampered with. But to Angélique, being married does not mean "renouncing the pleasures of the world".
