The statement above is TRUE.
The Bourgeois gentleman is a comedy play about a middle class man who want to become an aristocrat. He hired teachers to teach him how to become a gentleman and he changes his lifestyle, especially that of his dressing to suit the manner of gentlemen. He ends up being deceived and making a big fool of himself.
