Tartuffe (full title: Tartuffe, or The Hypocrite) is one of the
most famous theatrical comedies by Moliere. Moliere wrote Tartuffe
in 1664. Plot: Orgon's family is up in arms because Orgon and his
mother have fallen under the influence of Tartuffe, a pious fraud
(and a vagrant prior to Orgon's help). Tartuffe pretends to be
pious and to speak with divine authority, and Orgon and his mother
no longer take any action without first consulting him.
