| Description: Tartuffe, by Molière, is a classic French comedy that satirizes religious hypocrisy, featuring a con man who infiltrates a wealthy family's home, manipulates the patriarch Orgon, and nearly ruins the family before being exposed and punished by the king. The play, first performed in 1664, was controversial and temporarily banned for attacking religious figures, but it remains a popular and witty exploration of deception, appearances versus reality, and the conflict between blind faith and reason. | |
