Dans cette comédie en cinq actes, Gresset met en scène le personnage du Méchant, qui trompe tout le monde dans sa quête d'une riche héritière. Avec sa verve satirique et son humour caustique, Gresset dresse le portrait d'une société hypocrite et corrompue. Une lecture réjouissante pour les amateurs de théâtre du XVIIIe siècle.
