"Tartufe; or, The Hypocrite" is a comedy by the French playwright Moliere, in which he skillfully reveals the disgrace and hypocrisy of the society of that time. The main character, Tartuffe, pretends to be a pious man, but in reality he is just a monstrous hypocrite who uses the benefits and justifications of religion for his own personal gain. This play tirelessly ridicules the hypocrite, the impostor and the deceiver, and also shows that true faith should not be reduced to formalism and showmanship. Moliere skillfully uses the genre of comedy to show the negative phenomena and vices of his time through caricature images. "Tartufe; or, The Hypocrite" remains a relevant and spicy work that questions moral principles and the depth of human nature.
