Der Tartuffe oder Der Betrüger: Die revolutionäre Kritik religiösen Heuchlertums und Diktatur

The plot unfolds around Orgon, who is deceived by Tartuffe, a conman posing as a pious man. Orgon's mother, Madame Pernelle, supports Tartuffe, leading Orgon to disregard his family's concerns. He plans to marry his daughter Mariane to Tartuffe, despite her engagement to Valère. Mariane, unhappy with her father's decision, relies on her maid Dorine, brother Damis, and stepmother Elmire to thwart the marriage. Tartuffe's manipulations and the family's attempts to reveal his true nature drive the comedic tension in this classic play by Molière.
