Tartuffe, by Moliere.
This play is about a story of a man who falls into the trap of misplaced adoration. All the dramatic work in this play defines it as a play of manners and religious hypocrisy. The play tries to convey some religious, moral believes and behaviour that is constructed by Tartuffe persona. Tartuffe seems to be adored by Orgon and his mother, Madame, who have placed so much faith in him. They always ask for his advice so that they can make decisions sometimes at the expense of the other family members. The rest of the family members do not like this, and they see Him as being phony. Orgon later marries his daughter, who is already engaged to Tartuffe because of believing so much in his words. At this point, the family decides to entrap Tartuffe so that Orgon can see who the kind of person he is.
Some of the characters in this play so the kind of flaws they have like Orgon. Tartuffe also shows characteristics of being naïve and foolish. The play depicts how some people can be taken advantage of in the community by people who feel that they are wise enough to lure others to their direction. A person like Orgon is blind to Tartuffe’s ambitions. Orgon’s wife shows Chastity in her character. We can see that the man who pretends to be the most moral is the most lacking. People in society sometimes are carried away by religious beliefs that do not have roots and end up following leaders who are hypocritic. They only have the aim of luring them.
