"Cut off one of my arms and gouge out one of my eyes so the other one fares better? What a fine operation, to make me one-eyed and one-armed!" These are the only "medical" limits that Argan, a notorious hypochondriac, sets for himself.
He goes through clysters, enemas and other purges to cure his imaginary illnesses, and even plans to marry his daughter to a doctor, because, as he says with honest foolishness: "It is for myself that I am giving her a doctor as a husband! And a good-natured daughter should be delighted to marry what is useful to her father's health." Each of us knows an Argan; perhaps we are even a little like him ourselves? Let us laugh together at our own foibles!
