Excerpt from La Grammaire: Comédie En Un Acte
You will probably read La Grammaire, if at all, quite early in your course. It will be, perhaps, the first piece of dramatic composition which you will read in French. If such is the case, a few general hints upon the reading and translation of plays may be helpful.
You must keep in mind first of all that these plays were not written to be read, but to be acted. Certainly M. Labiche had no thought that La Grammaire would ever be laboriously thumbed and plodded through by classes of American students. He intended that his little comedy should be intensely funny; and so it is, but much of the fun was to be put into it by the actors. This part must all be imagined by the reader. As you read the lines you must picture to yourself the various actors made up for their parts, reciting them and performing the stage directions indicated -and doubtless many others not indicated.

Excerpt from La Grammaire: Comédie En Un Acte
It must be kept in mind, too, that a play is all dialogue, and so the language is the language of conversation. In a play, likewise, such as La Grammaire, which deals with bourgeois and provincial characters and servants, even this conversational language is not like that which you would hear from university professors or at a gathering in a literary drawing room. It is good French, but it is exceedingly col loquial and idiomatic. The student should try to render this colloquial character, so far as possible, in English. Jean's speeches, when translated, should sound like those of a ser vant. Caboussat should talk like an ignorant village mag nate with his eye ori the legislature, Poitrinas like a rural pundit, and Blanche like a boarding-school girl.
