Tartuffe, or The Impostor is a theatrical work by the French playwright Molière, which satirizes religious hypocrisy. The play focuses on the character of Tartuffe, an impostor who pretends to be devout in order to deceive Orgon, a wealthy bourgeois, and manipulate his family. Through comical situations and entanglements, Molière criticizes false piety and credulity, exposing the tricks of hypocrites and the importance of reason and discernment.
Jean-Baptiste Poquelin, known by his stage name Molière, was a French playwright, actor, and poet, widely regarded as one of the great writers in the French language and world literature. His extant works include comedies, farces, tragicomedies, comédie-ballets, and more. His plays have been translated into every major living language and are performed at the Comédie-Française more often than those of any other playwright today. His influence is such that the French language is often referred to as the "language of Molière".
