   first. Gore umu extracts the essence of Isaiah's warning, Gore ot uma emphasises the consequence of not heeding it; prompted, perhaps, by the Kniazhnin, Griboedov has compressed Isaiah's thinking into something crisp but enigmatic.

   Why is Gore ot uma not known in English?

   • This may explain why one of the masterpieces of Russian drama, Gore ot uma by Aleksandr Griboedov (pronounced Gri-boy-EH-doff), is virtually unknown in the English-speaking world.

   Is Gore ot uma similar to The Misanthrope?

   • Critics like to compare Gore ot uma with Molière’s The Misanthrope, and there are definite similarities. Both Alceste and Chatsky scorn the hypocrisies and corruption of the aristocratic society in which they move, but are hopelessly in love with a flirt who shines in just such a society.
