Racine offered Molière his tragedy Théagène et Chariclée (one of the first works he wrote after he had abandoned his theology studies), but Molière would not perform it, though he encouraged Racine to pursue his artistic career.
Racine je ponudio Molièreu svoju tragediju "Théagène et Chariclée" (jedno od njegovih prvih dijela nakon što je napustio studij teologije), ali je Molière nije htio izvoditi iako je podržavao Racinea u nastavku njegove umjetničke karijere.
