Frosine Timeline and Summary

  • Frosine shows up and greets La Flèche, since they seem to have a prior acquaintance. She informs La Flèche that she has decided to play matchmaker between Harpagon and the young Mariane, hoping to score a little money in the process.
  • La Flèche tells her she'll never get any money out of Harpagon, and she is disappointed to find that this is true.
  • When she finds out that Cléante and Mariane are in love, Frosine agrees to help them hatch a scheme to get Mariane away from Harpagon. She plans on getting one of her friends to pretend to be a rich old lady who's interested in marrying Harpagon.
  • The plan never comes off, though, as Harpagon sniffs it out (and snuffs it out).
