  Abstract:   The Games of Love and Night in a Few 17th Century French Plays. Although made to be seen, the theater did not exclude the night. In comedy, the night is always there: the night of the lovers, that of the deceived husbands, the emancipated women, the witches, but also the enchanted and magnificent night of the parties in the Sun King’s courtyard. These are the multiple night facets studied in the current work in an attempt to clear up, even partially, a host of stakes of the light and its absence in some plays of the 17th century and in particular: D’Ouville’s L’Esprit follet, Boisrobert’s La Folle Gageure, Moliére’s Georges Dandin, and Pierre Corneille’s Le Menteur and La Suite du menteur.

Keywords: classic theater, night, love, terror, seduction, liberation, libertinism.
