Tartuffe
Moliere’s Tartuffe, displays a hypocritical character who hides behind his so-called pity and uses it as a mask to get his desires. This character, Tartuffe, is a hypocrite who desires money and power and projects a false image. This comedy deals with disguise and religious hypocrisy. Tartuffe claims to be a godly man when in reality he is a manipulative man who uses his piety as a strength to get what he wants. In this story, Tartuffe convinces Orgon and Madame Pernelle that he is a poor and religious man. He makes them believe he is truthful and humble by pretending to be pious. However, Tartuffe’s ways do not fool the rest of the family and members of the house. Moliere makes Tartuffe's hypocrisy obvious to the audience, while Orgon has no idea what a horrible man he is.
The family comes up with a plan to show Orgon how awful Tartuffe really is. They trap him into confessing his love for Elmire, Orgon’s wife. Tartuffe confesses his desire for Elmire, but they get interrupted by Damis, Orgon’s son, who was listening to every word. He goes to tell his father Orgon. Orgon becomes furious for accusing Tartuffe of such a thing and kicks Damis out of the house. Tartuffe uses reverse psychology and calls himself a horrible sinner to make Orgon feel bad. He gives Taruffe a box with all of Orgon’s possessions, including his house. The reader can notice how much of a hypocrite Tartuffe is and how he uses his ways to fool Orgon. Elmire convinces Orgon to hide when they trick Tartuffe once again. Tartuffe is easily tricked and Orgon finally sees for himself how much of a fraud Tartuffe truly is. Tartuffe

    In Tartuffe (1664), as in his other plays, Moliere employs classic comic devices of plot and character. Here, a foolish, stubborn father blocking the course of young love: an impudent servant commenting on her superiors’ actions; a happy ending involving a marriage facilitated by implausible means. He often uses such devices, however, to comment on his own immediate social scene, imagining how universal patterns play themselves out in a specific historical context.…

    4. In Tartuffe, Moliere uses dialogue to express irony in the play. When Orgon tells his brother-in-law, “You do not know the man of whom you speak,” it is ironic because although Cleante has never met Tartuffe in person, he does know that he is deceiving everyone. It is also ironic because Orgon is saying this even though he does not know Tartuffe’s true intentions. It is also ironic when Orgon says “Under his[Tartuffe] tutelage my soul’s been freed from earthly loves, and every human tie: My mother, children, brother, and wife could die, and I’d not feel a single moment’s pain,”( 276-279) because Orgon thinks that Tartuffe has taught him to free himself of human ties including family, but in actuality, he is placing Tartuffe so ahead of his family that he no longer cares about his family.…

    Integrity In Tartuffe

    After I finished reading the play Tartuffe, I thought that it can be relatable to today’s society. People can easily fall under the false impression of someone and believe anything that person says, just like Orgon did with Tartuffe. Orgon was so blinded by a fake image of Tartuffe that he gave his back to his own family. In Act three, scene seven Orgon mentions that, “a faithful friend means more to [him] than any member of his family.” Even after his family tried to show Orgon the real Tartuffe, Orgon never questioned Tartuffe’s integrity. In our society, people can easily be misled by someone because many individuals are unscrupulous to take advantage of others. For example, propaganda is used by many people and corporations to persuade…

    Orgon is a man that took a leap of faith and put trust into a complete stranger. The ignorance of this situation is metaphorical to the betrayal of a snake. A person puts their trust in a snake and is saddened by the disloyalty but after all, the person knew it was a snake from the beginning. Is the victim of betrayal sometimes at fault? Also Tartuffe had a loss of virtue once he committed some of the deadly sins. Orgon was also enlightened by the end of the situation, he was ashamed that he had been so naïve.…

    "Where do you think Abigal could be Parris?" Danforth said. "I believe she has gone to the ship that is going to be on its way to Barbados," Parris said sadly," She has taken my money and she has gone with Mary Warren, Sir." "Call Hale, and we will find her right away." As the three of them go onto a hidden path a few miles down they see Abigal and Marry Warren. "STOP! STOP RIGHT THERE YOUNG LADIES!" Danforth screamed. They cuffed the girls and took them back to the jail house. "Bring me only Abigal, leave Marry Warren in the cell until further notice." There were two knocks on the door, and entered Abigal Parris. "Where were you going Abigal?" Said Danforth. "Sir, I was going to Barbados. I was going to Barbados to be with Tituba, and to get away from the madness. Everyone has trafficked with the devil here, Sir. I am one of the only pure ones in this village!" Abigal said. "Abigal you have fooled us enough. You have beguiled everyone in this village. Have you trafficked with the devil? Have you seen the face of the fiend? Have you seen anyone with him?" Danforth said in disgust. "No, Sir. I love God." She replied. "Take her to the cell and bring in Marry Warren." Danforth said. He heard footsteps through the hallway, and then three knocks on the door. "Marry Warren, where were you and Abigal going?" Danforth said. "Abigal was taking me to Barbadoes. She said she wanted to be with Tituba, so they…

    In Tartuffe, Elmire character is resourceful and intelligent woman much like Dorine. Elmire is clearly shown to be mentally superior to her husband and becomes frustrated with him, of his gullibility concerning with Tartuffe, saying bluntly that" Orgons blindness take her breath away" (Moliere). When Orgon refuses to acknowledge that Tartuffe could possibly commit treacherous intentions, Elmire takes the initiative and convince her "hard headed" husband to hide while she manipulates Tartuffe into admitting his wicked intentions (Moliere). The fact that Elmire is forced to manipulate her husband decision rather than make her own, however, is a clear illustration of the subordinate status of women in eighteen century. Elmire character is much like Dorin: strong and…

    In Tartuffe, Moliere's use's plot to defend and oppose characters that symbolize and ridicule habitual behavior's that was imposed during the neo-classical time period. His work, known as a comedy of manners, consists of flat characters, with few and similar traits and that always restore some kind of peace in the end. He down plays society as a whole by creating a microseism, where everyone in the family has to be obedient, respectful, and mindful of the head of the home, which is played by the father Orgon. Mariane shows her obedience when she replies "To please you, sir, is what delights me best." (Moliere 324,11) Shortly afterwards, Orgon commands Mariane to take Tartuffe as her husband even though she is not interested in him at all. Orgon's command shows how men are dominate and have control over social order. Mariane's strong obedience to her father (Orgon) supports the Neo-Classical element that the individual is not as important as society. Moliere discusses logic and reasoning by blindfolding Orgon to the reality of Tartuffe's intentions that causes him to make dumb decisions. In the process, Orgon disregard's his family when told of Tartuffe's intentions. After Tartuffe cons Orgon into believing that Damis's accusation is false Orgon replies, "I know your motives, I now you wish him ill:/Yes, all of you - wife, children, servants, all - /Conspire against him and desire his fall." (Moliere 341-342,46-48) Orgon then excommunicates his own son, indicating that his reasoning is deferred due to his ignorance. This in due course challenges the Neo-Classical belief that logic and reasoning is more important than emotion because Orgon acts solely on his emotions. He feels as if his family has turned against his friend so he operates upon his feelings. When Damis returns home and Tartuffe (instead of Orgon) gets locked up, order is restored. At the end, the family commends the officer for apprehending the true criminal by saying, "Heaven be praised! / We're safe.…

His friend Chrysalde has a few opposing opinions to share with him, his thoughts on his new name being only one of them. He also warns him about the faultiness of his longtime plan of confining his ward, Agnès, to a convent to “be raised in ignorance of life” that someday she may be his innocent and dutiful wife. Arnolphe pays him no heed. Now that Agnès is of marrying age, he moves her into his house and plans to soon wed her.…

    This scope brings the psychoanalytical perspective of Rene Girard within Freud's story. The ritual sacrifice in killing the father is simply a way of "disguising the community's terror of its own violence." Therefore in comparing that to the revolution, the king was simply used as a scapegoat sacrifice that as Girard explains was to restore harmony to the community and reinforce the social fabric. At many points Hunt introduces the topics that she will discuss in the chapters to follow as she tries to breakdown the many parts of the family…

    In Tartuffe, the matriarch of the family is Madame Pernelle, and she does not hold her tongue when speaking her mind to her family. As she so states,“ You, boy, grow more foolish every day. To think my grandson should be such dunce! I’ve said it a hundred times, if I said it once, that if you keep on the course which you’ve started, you’ll leave your worthy father broken-hearted.” (Norton; Vol. D; 2nd Edition; Pg. 315) The family’s disregard for her decision making does not sway Madame Pernelle from speaking her truths about Tartuffe. Even though she is not the main character, her disposition towards her family reveals an unhealthy dynamic. As she converses with each character, she makes it a point to expose everyone’s faults to justify her stance on revering Tartuffe as a godly man. The father in the play is Orgon, and he too takes a notable stance against his family in regard to criticizing Tartuffe’s integrity. Though he is not as forthcoming as the grandmother, he voices his distaste for his family’s dislike of Tartuffe in a manner in which he shows his dominance over his homestead.…

    Meursault’s reactions are rarely what the reader envisions as appropriate. People feel disconnected-- disheartened and confused-- when Meursault claims his Maman’s death “doesn’t mean anything” (3). The level of indifference he feels and the actions he performs: making excuses to his boss, having lunch at Celeste’s, going to swim and a movie with Marie, all have the readers questioning Meursault’s character. This displeased feeling continues through the first half of the novel with Meursault’s uncaring and robotic behaviors of watching “families out for a walk… the local boys [going] by… the shopkeepers and the cats” (21-22). One then starts to wonder. One…

    In Tartuffe, a play by Moliere, one of the main characters named Orgon brings in a hypocrite named Tartuffe, who is the antagonist of the play, into his household. Tartuffe pretends to be very religious and Orgon falls for his act. The scene I am selecting consists of Cleante, Organs’ brother-in-law, trying to convince Orgon of Tartuffe’s deceit . Cleante, in a secondary role in the play, is actually a strong character who voices reason to stabilize the conflicts of other individuals in the household. He is very contemplative and rational throughout his conversation with Orgon.…

    Upon seeing Major de Spain’s large and beautiful mansion, Sartoris feels joy and peace that he cannot find the words to describe. He hopes that this is the same feeling his father feels in the presence of such a house but he is “not dwarfed by the house”, showing Abner is not likely to change his intentions no matter the beauty (another source). While Sartoris works the fields with his brother, he now “dreams” of a change of course for his father’s past ways and for all of the “terror and grief” to just be gone forever. Sartoris is beginning to realize that his father most likely won’t change who he is and later he might have to decide for himself what he wants in life (another source). After a long day at the court hearing, fixing the wagon, and looking at horses for sale, Abner has the same intentions as he always does to seek vengeance for his problems, to burn Major de Spain’s barn down. He tells Sartoris to go fetch oil and at that point, Sarotoris questions his father’s intentions even though he already knew but he proceeds on to carrying out Abner’s commands. As he is running to get the oil, Sartoris envisions himself running away and never looking back to his old life. “I could run on and on and never look back, never need to see his face again. Only I can’t. I can’t” Sartoris wants the injustice of his father to…
