TruffleA man will only see what he wants to see. In “Tartuffe,” by Molière, we are introduced to Orgon, a man so blinded by his obsession with Tartuffe that he falls subject to her deception. Tartuffe pretends to be a devout, pious and humble man, while in reality he is a religious hypocrite. Over the course of the work we are introduced to many characters who try in vain to "open" Orgon's eyes to Tartuffe's lies. He refuses to accept the fact that Tartuffe is an impostor and is more of a hypocrite than a reverent man. "My mother, my children, my brother and my wife could die, and I would not feel a single moment of pain... oh, if I had seen Tartuffe as I first knew him, your heart, like the mine, would have surrendered to him." Orgon makes this completely irrational statement about Tartuffe. This nonsensical statement shows how deeply fixated he was in believing that Tartuffe was a just and honest individual. Only at the end does Orgon realize that he has been deceived from the beginning and finally comes to accept the fact that Tartuffe is a lying and scheming impostor....
