Alceste despises the society around him for their hypocrisy and superficiality. His ideal is unconditional sincerity and truthfulness. He fanatically tries to convert those around him. Alceste's refusal to adapt to society's rules and behave diplomatically leads to bitter experiences. Since he does not praise the poet Oronte, but rather radically criticizes him, he makes an enemy of him. Alceste loses the trial brought by Oronte because he refuses to bribe the judges. He ignores the well-intentioned advice of his loyal friend Philinte.
