More Info
From The Big Book of Molière Monologues by actor/author Timothy Mooney. A collection of over 160 of Molière's funniest monologues in new rhymed iambic pentameter versions. Tartuffe finds supposedly pious man who has insinuated his way into the home of Orgon, who has become overawed with the discipline of Tartuffe’s devotion. As such, Orgon has offered up his own daughter to Tartuffe in marriage and, even as the rest of the family is scurrying to oppose this, Tartuffe cannot resist even further over-reach, attempting to seduce Orgon’s wife, Elmire. Just as all looks darkest for the family of Orgon, which has been virtually destroyed by Tartuffe, an officer of the king’s court presents himself, we assume, to take Orgon to jail. Instead, the Officer arrests Tartuffe, insisting that the King has long been observing the horrible deeds of this vile impostor and, hearing that the charlatan has insinuated his way into one of the finest families in the country, he has sent his officer to set things right. In spite of the happy ending, Molière, a master of the self-conscious deus ex machina, had to know that it would continue to feel mischievously false to his audience. While he sang the praises of the King to the skies, the audience was more familiar with a world in which wickedness prevails, making the contrived ending seem all the more hilarious, even while winning the committed support of the King.see less
