When Orgon falls under the spell of Tartuffe, a cunning fraud posing as a holy man, his family watches in horror as their household unravels. Tartuffe manipulates his way into Orgon's fortune, arranges to marry his daughter, and seduces his wife—all while maintaining a mask of piety. The play sparked immediate controversy for its portrayal of religious hypocrisy, leading King Louis XIV to suppress it despite its popularity. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
