Tartuffe
by
Molière

     I was in the audience at the proformance of Tartuffe the first night it
played at Prairie High School.  I really liked Tartuffe, i felt that the play was
pretty funny, and i liked how it started off by letting the audience know
Tartuffe is a fraud.  I thought it was a very good production.
     In Tartuffe we get pretty much a personal view into Orgons’s home, all
of the play takes place here.  In Act I, scene 4, Tartuffe, coming into church
everyday and drawing attention with his loud prayer.  In church Orgon would
offer him gifts and he would say they were twice too much and immediately
give some to the poor, again this kind of thing makes the audience realize
that Tartuffe is a fraud and that he has Madame Pernelle and Orgon
convinced that he is perfect.  Sooner or later Orgon invites Tartuffe to live in
his home.  Tartuffe immediality takes everything over.  He convinces Orgon
to turn the house over to him along with some important papers.  Orgon is
totally in the dark on whats going on and everytime a member of his family
tries to talk to him about it he gets all mad and the have a fight.  Tartuffe’s
whole reason for being in the home is that he is trying to suduce Orgons
young wife.  Everyone in his family knows what’s going on and they set
tartuffe up to take a fall.  It works and Orgon throws Tartuffe out of the
house,  But what we all forgot is that Orgon had signed everything over to
Tartuffe and Tartuffe has Orgon and his family evicted from the home.
Luckily, the good king sees through Tartuffe and has him arrested.
     This play is set in Orgons home.  The technical elements of this play
are used to set a mood for the play.  Like when Tartuffe starts to take over
Orgons home, Tartuffes assisstant begins to change the rugs and drapes to the
color green, {Tartuffes main color}, and then when Tartuffe starts to lose his
control on Orgon, the maid come out and removes the green and replaces it
with the regular color.  I really wasnt effected by the changing of the colors
until i thought back to what happene...
