Tartuffe

"Tartuffe" is a famous French play written by Molière in the 17th century. It tells the story of Orgon, a wealthy man who is duped by Tartuffe, a con artist pretending to be pious and religious. Orgon blindly trusts Tartuffe and nearly loses his family and fortune because of him. The play explores themes of hypocrisy, deception, and the conflict between genuine faith and false appearances. Through humor and sharp wit, Molière critiques the gullibility of people who are easily swayed by outward displays of piety, making it a timeless commentary on the human condition and social dynamics.
