Tartuffe
Orgon; is one of the main characters in the story, who had a firm belief in Tartuffe with a great passion. From this play Moliere explains how a man like Orgon can be so blind in his loyalty and love to a belief that he can’t make the right judgement, even of those who can easily deceive him. Tartuffe’s hypocrisy is unknown to Orgon that he goes against his family members who disagree with Tartuffe being the firm believer in God.

Orgon gives his property and is willing to wed his daughter Marianne to Tartuffe, who perhaps, is in love with Valere. Because Valere’s sister loves Damis (who is Marianne’s brother).

Moliere wants to tell the audience and readers that not to firmly believe something when everyone is trying to tell you that your making a mistake, it’s always good to have your eyes open, no matter who the person
