  • How Does Tartuffe Judge Religion

    273 Words  | 2 Pages

    Molière wrote Tartuffe to inform audiences the importance of moderation, common sense, and clear thinking in all areas of life. The author’s unspoken appeal for reason and order in personal interactions and social institutions is the cause of Orgon’s professional and personal life at the hands of Tartuffe. As Molière shows, when individuals such as Orgon ignore common sense and become obsessed with compelling figures, the results can be tragic. The play’s major emphasis is not to judge religion but rather to show the hypocrisy in religion. Damis and Dorine both agree that Tartuffe is a hypocrite, but Madame Pernelle is convince that his a good man and they are just bitter he reminds them of their sins and reveals their moral flaws.

  • Hypocritical Characters In Orbury's Tartuffe

    1092 Words  | 5 Pages

    During the moments where Tartuffe reveals his true intentions, he retains his religious rhetoric. Tartuffe does this when he intends to be involved with Elmire, when he does not allow Damis to return, when he brings the household under his ownership, and finally when Tartuffe attempts to have Orgon arrested. In each of these scenarios, Tartuffe defends his actions with his religious speak even after his mask of being a simple, pious beggar was ripped away. For example, when Tartuffe threatens the family with his newfound mastery of the estate, he mentions how he would punish them for attempting to kick him out, and how he had a way “of avenging [the] affront to Heaven” in order to cause the family regret trying to get him to leave (77). As Tartuffe comes closer to nearly conning the family, he becomes more unrestrained and acts invincible as though he got away with his plan before its completion.

  • Hypocrisy Of Religion In Tartuffe

    804 Words  | 4 Pages

    While reading Tartuffe, I was constantly dumbfounded by the prevalence in the world today of Moliere’s, comedically portrayed, accusations regarding ignorance in arranged marriage, social class dynamics and religious hypocrisy. Moliere created the characters to the complete contrast to what society saw them as, which was intriguing and comedic. He also displayed the average practices, such as planned marriage, to be disgraceful and shameful. Lastly, but most prevalently, Moliere saturated the hypocrisy of religion by later in the story revealing the religious character’s deceitful and malign nature. In this essay, I will be using historic and literary theory to examine Moliere’s interesting views of such practices and the satire involved.

Damis tries to tell him the truth of what he has just seen and heard, but Orgon is not having it. “Orgon's desire to retain Tartuffe is a function--a reaction and an invitation--of others' desire to be rid of him, of which Damis’ desire is the most strident, the most like the desire of his father in its imperious violence”(Mckenna). Andrew Mckenna illustrates how Orgon tries to protect Tartuffe from his family.

She writes, “the name of wife may seem more sacred or binding, but sweeter for me will be always be the word friend, or… that of concubine or whore,” (Heloise 51). When Abelard proposes marriage, Heloise does all in her power to dissuade him from this notion. She tells him of “the loss to the Church and grief of philosophers which would greet such a which would greet such a marriage,” (Abelard 13).
