Tartuffe: Viisinäytöksinen Huvinäytelmä

Molière

2000

Translated by Otto Manninen

''Tartuffe: Viisinäytöksinen huvinäytelmä'' by Molière is a comedic play written in the late 17th century. The work revolves around the themes of hypocrisy, religious piety, and deception, centering on the character Tartuffe, who deceives a wealthy man named Orgon into believing he is a pious and virtuous individual. The narrative unfolds within the household of Orgon, his family, and their associates as they grapple with the insidious influence of Tartuffe.'' ''The opening of the play introduces us to Orgon's family and their growing concerns about Tartuffe, who has ingratiated himself into their lives through feigned piety. Orgon's mother, Mrs. Pernelle, is an adamant supporter of Tartuffe, dismissing her family's apprehensions about him. As the family debates the situation, it becomes clear that Damis, Orgon's son, is particularly distressed about Tartuffe's intentions, and there are hints of romantic interest between Orgon's daughter Marianne and her suitor Valère. The conversation reveals the family dynamics and sets the stage for the conflict between sincerity and hypocrisy that will drive the plot forward.''
