Argan, a wealthy bourgeois, is a hypochondriac: he talks obsessively about his ailments and the treatments prescribed for him by his doctor. His daughter, Angélique, is in love with a young man named Cléante, but Argan wants her to marry a young doctor instead. Argan’s brother and the maid, Toinette, oppose the marriage, and through their scheme to thwart Argan’s plans, they offer a humorous critique of medicine and medical practices of the day.
