Jourdain
This ridiculous but likable tradesman’s home is crucial to the drama because it is the only possible place in which such an extravagant assortment of characters could appear and such a strange–but logically ordered–progression of scenes could occur. Jourdain’s house in Paris provides the mandatory Aristotelian unity of place because it is a magnet for all the characters who want to take advantage of the money that is pouring out of this would-be gentleman’s pockets during the brief period of infatuation preceding his inevitable disillusionment.
