The French playwright Molière (January 15, 1622 - February 17, 1673) is the individual whose real name was Jean-Baptiste Poquelin.
Specifically, the Parisian-born playwright also carried out theatrical responsibilities as actor, director, producer and writer for his own theatrical company. As a child and adolescent, he was interested in the great tragedies from the classical civilizations of the ancient Romans and Greeks. He therefore hoped to distinguish himself as an actor and writer of tragedies. But he quickly had to change course, because it was his comic acting and writing that won the devoted following of audiences inside and outside the royal and aristocratic circles of 17th-century France.
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin is better known as Moliere, a stage name. He was a comedic French playwright and actor who lived in the 1600's.

Sometime between 1645 and 1658 Molière (January 15, 1622 - February 17, 1673) began using his stage name.Specifically, France's most famous playwright, performer and director was born Jean-Baptiste Poquelin. It is under that real name that he left Paris in disgrace in 1645. The theater company that he had co-founded in 1643 had failed miserably, and Poquelin even had been imprisoned for non-payment of debts. When he returned in triumph to Paris in 1658, he was no longer known by his birth name, but by his subsequently world-famous stage name.
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin was the real name of Moliére (January 15, 1622 - February 17, 1673).Specifically, the Parisian playwright was named after his father, Jean Poquelin (1595 - February 1669). His father was in the furniture and upholstery business and expected his eldest son to become a lawyer and upholsterer. But Jean-Baptiste chose the theater and began using a stage name for reasons that never were recorded. One of those reasons just may have been his father's opposition to a career subject to excommunication by its pursuer in 17th-century France.
Until he was twenty-one (21) years old, Molière (January 15, 1622 - February 17, 1673) may have wanted to hold down a job within the royal court or within the legal profession. But as of 1643, he chose the theater and pursued that career until his death.Specifically, Paris' most famous playwright, performer and director was born into the merchant class. His father, Jean Poquelin, expected him to follow his footsteps in working within the French royal court. Molière tried that route and then that of law under his real name, Jean-Baptiste Poquelin. But he always was drawn to the theater and made that his sole profession as an adult, under the subsequently world-famous stage name of Molière.
