Tartuffe

So far, I've liked Tartuffe more than any other play we've read this semester. I found the characters unique, and witty, and interesting. The story line and zest in the text, and the boldness of each individual reminded me of a Shakesperean play. I also thought some of the charming absurdities that took place were very similar to happenings in The Three Musketeers which makes sense because they were set in similar time periods and locations. 

While Tartuffe was long, it kept me on my toes and excited me. I liked that the characters mocked and taunted each other, and even left the audience/reader confused at times as to who could truly be trusted. While the end was obviously a little cliché, it makes sense that Moliére casted the King as such a controversial play's hero (for arresting Tartuffe).  Overall, I found Tartuffe to be exciting and filled with material and characters way ahead of the plays time.
