Tartuffe

I really enjoyed this play. The rhyming language was a nice change from the previous play we have read, and it seemed to flow very easily in my mind while reading. I was also nice to move away from religious themes and into a more twisted, unpredictable story. The characters were very comical, especially the mother, so this play kept me interested while I was reading. I also like how the moral of this story isn't about being good in goods eyes, but rather to trust those close to you and not to get caught up in status. Orgon dismissed the opinions of his family and close friends and stayed stuck in his own ways. It's interested though to think about the fact that what if Orgon had been right about Tartuffe. Sometimes few people are able to see the good in the other. The Moral of the story than would have been opposite if it had turned out that Tartuffe was how Orgon and his mother thought he was the whole time. Was he necessarily wrong and deserving of punishment for believing what he thought was right and not changing his opinion based on others?
