The story takes place in the home of the wealthy Orgon, where
Tartuffe-a fraud and a pious imposter-has insinuated himself. He
succeeds magnificently in winning the respect and devotion of the
head of the house, and then tries to marry his daughter and seduce his
wife and scrounge the deed to the property. He nearly gets away with
it, but an emissary from King Louis XIV arrives in time to recover the
property, free Monsieur Orgon, and haul Tartuffe off to jail. And so his
duplicity is finally exposed and punished. But not before the author
has mercilessly examined the evil that men can commit in the guise of
religious fervor and the dangers that imperil those who would believe
only what they choose to believe despite a mountain of evidence to the
contrary.
