Book excerpt: Tartuffe or The Hypocrite by Jean Baptiste Poquelin Moliere Translated by Curtis Hidden Page Tartuffe, or The Impostor, or The Hypocrite, first performed in 1664, is one of the most famous theatrical comedies by Molière. The characters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Orgon are considered among the greatest classical theatre roles. Jean Baptiste Poquelin, better known by his stage name of Moliere, stands without a rival at the head of French comedy. Born at Paris in January, 1622, where his father held a position in the royal household, he was educated at the Jesuit College de Clermont, and for some time studied law, which he soon abandoned for the stage. His life was spent in Paris and in the provinces, acting, directing performances, managing theaters, and writing plays. He had his share of applause from the king and from the public; but the satire in his comedies made him many enemies, and he was the object of the most venomous attacks and the most impossible slanders. Nor did he find much solace at home; for he married unfortunately, and the unhappiness that followed increased the bitterness that public hostility had brought into his life. On February 17, 1673, while acting in "La Malade Imaginaire," the last of his masterpieces, he was seized with illness and died a few hours later.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Tartuffe; Or, The Hypocrite by French playwright Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin) was first performed in 1664 for Louis XIV. The representation in the play that pious men are not as pious as they make themselves out to be, was what got the play almost immediately banned. Those opposed to it were members of upper-class French society, and the Roman Catholic Church. Louis XIV actually liked the play. However, it took several rewrites before it was finally performed as a five-act play without controversy in 1669. It is a comic tale that features the characters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Orgon - considered some of the best roles in theatre. Tartuffe, a so-called pious man who claims to speak with divine authority is taken in by a family, the head of which is Orgon. Whilst Orgon and his mother fall completely for Tartuffe's pious act, the rest of the family hate him and devise a scheme to show him for what he really is. All in all, the play exposes the folly of believing things without checking facts or appealing to reason. Much like how Machiavellian became part of the language after 'The Prince' was published, Tartuffe became a word used to describe a religious hypocrite. № 78 in Anne Haight's List of Banned Books.

Book excerpt: Excerpt from Tartuffe: Or the Hypocrite Louis V entertained his court, in May of 1664, at his recently finished palace and pleasure-grounds of Ver sailles, with a week of uninterrupted festival. Moliere, now the chief furnisher of the king's pleasures, gave dur ing the week four plays: The Bares; le Forced Mar riage; 77x Princes: ofelz's, begun in verse, but hastily fin ished in prose to be ready for the king's entertainment; and the first three acts of Tartufe. These three acts taken] alone must have seemed much less serious than the play as a whole seems to us now. They are in fact made up for the most part of excellent light comedy - the harangues of Madame Pernelle, the retorts of Dorine, the quarrel and reconciliation of the lovers, the famous scene of The poor man! And that of the confounding of Damis. Tartufie himself does not enter until the second scene of the third act, and in that act he is odious and comical not, as in the later acts, odious and almost terrifying. The character of Cleante was less seriously conceived than in later versions of the play, since part of his origi nal r61e was later transferred to Dorine. And some of the more serious passages of these three acts as we have them now, especially in the speeches of Cle'ante, were probably not yet written.

Book excerpt: Renowned for his satirical works, Molière (Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, 1622-1673) delighted in lampooning the social pretensions and conceits of 17th-century French society. In this 1664 verse comedy with serious overtones, Tartuffe, a penniless scoundrel and religious poseur, is invited by a gullible benefactor to live in his home.Imposing a rigidly puritanical regimen on the formerly happy household, Tartuffe wreaks havoc among family members. He breaks off the daughter's engagement, attempts to seduce the wife of his host, acquires his patron's property, and eventually resorts to blackmail and extortion. But ultimately, his schemes and malicious deeds lead to his own downfall.
