Moliere wrote this story as a satire. Which means he wanted to add humor to touchy subjects. The subjects that Moliere satires in Tartuffe are hypocrisy and religion. Understanding this made me changed my mind about the story because I found it extremely humorous. In the story Tartuffe was supposed to be some Holy and spiritual person, but turns out to be a crook, thief, and liar when supposedly that is what he stands against. Then Moliere satires religion by basically making fun of the fact that people will use religion to gain success or power. Orgon wasn’t a poor man and he had to have some power to have known the king. So Tartuffe saw this and used religious tactics such as being humble to con Orgon and almost take his power and land. What made this even more funny was to find out the this made people mad , but Moliere keep doing touchy subjects anyway in his stories and
