The Similarities Between Orgon And Esteban

When it comes to the relationships between their daughters, Orgon and Esteban are very similar, but they do share different connections with the daughters. Both fathers want the best for their daughter, even if the fathers force their good intentions on the daughters. Orgon knew Mariane would listen to Orgon’s commands because she does not disobey her father, unlike Damis. Esteban knows Laurencia will listen to him because she knows her father just wants the best for her, even though sometimes he makes mistakes along the way. Both men idolized people, who tricked them to believe they were good citizens, but, the people they idolized ruined precious relationships because of charming the fathers. Damis’ relationship with Orgon was destroyed because
of Tartuffe, while Laurencia’s relationship with Esteban was tested because how the commander forces Esteban to give him permission to marry his daughter. Damis and Laurencia try to warn their father about the men’s corrupted ways. The difference of Orgon and Esteban is Orgon played the victim card after realizing his mistake with Tartuffe, while Esteban tried to make everything correct at the end with his daughter by killing the commander. Orgon tries force Mariane into marrying Tartuffe instead of Valere because Orgon believes Tartuffe is his daughter’s best fit, but Esteban denies the commander’s request to marry Laurencia because Esteban believes Frondoso is Laurencia’s soulmate. Esteban tried to save his daughter from marrying a monster, but he is threatened by the commander. Esteban sees the hurt in his daughter’s eyes, while Orgon is too focused on himself and Tartuffe to see Mariane’s pain. The fathers are similar in many ways, but they are way different because one decides to stand up for his daughter as the other blames other people for his mistake.
