They want someone like that in their lives because the godliness that Tartuffe pretends to have is useful. This can help them do what they have to do to make it to heaven. Tartuffe can teach them that, or so they think.
Tartuffe is a very convincing man because of his use of tone. The tone he sets out is very convincing. It is subtle, apologetic, careful, delicate, and discerning. His tone has everything it needs to play off as an imposter and get himself out of sticky situations. His tone is detected throughout the play and you can get a great glimpse of it in action when Damis overhears Tartuffe expressing his feelings of love that he has for Elmire.
If Tartuffe is the great and holy person he says he is, then why is he lusting over Elmire and expressing his feelings he has about her to her when she is a married woman. She is married to Orgon, the person who took Tartuffe into his home. Tartuffe should not be doing what he is doing and Damis catches him in action.
Damis lets his father know what is going on so his father can finally get rid of Tartuffe, but Tartuffe pulls out his tone to fool Orgon and make him think that his son is lying.
He confuses Orgon because Tartuffe should not be defending Damis and because he is, that makes Orgon think that Tartuffe is telling the truth and not Damis.
Psychologically, he makes Orgon ask himself why Tartuffe would be defending his son and what his motive to it could be. Tartuffe is godly; therefore, he is taking the blame and has no negative motive so he must be telling the truth.
It makes Orgon believe that Tartuffe is just being mistreated. Tartuffe gains great power just like that and wins Orgon over onto his team. Through the imagery in the play, we are able to see the way Tartuffe acts, which is another form of how he gains control over this family.
When he is around everyone, he presents himself as a very sophisticated human being. He acts like a saint and tries to make everyone believe that he is a good person. In act three, scene two, Dorine has her chest area displayed a bit and in order to make everyone believe that he is godly, he advises her on what to do about that because she should not be showing her bust.
She can see right through his act, but as for Orgon and Madame Pernelle, these types of actions from Tartuffe make them believe that he is a very religious person that knows heaven and what it desires. Everyone, except for Orgon and Madame Pernelle, are not fooled by Tartuffe because he became the head of the household so quick. Everything that they do is considered a sin by him.
They can tell that he is lusting over Elmire and they do not believe he can show them the way to heaven. They know it is an act because he was a human stray before coming into the house. Madame Pernelle thinks that everyone should become holier and get their morals together. The fact that this man that says he is godly makes her like him because he has the qualities that she has. Orgon feels the house can use someone like him to teach them the way to heaven.
Orgon is a person who lacked confidence and knowledge of recognizing a true man. He was also very inconsiderate cause he wanted his young daughter to marry an old guy like Tartuffe when he knew about her love for another person. In spite of being the master of the house, he failed to maintain his assets properly and transferred all assets to Turtuffe.
All of these action proves that Orgon was inconsiderate and irresponsible to his family. On the other hand, Oregon had fear for God. As Tartuffe showed Orgon that he can be the way to heaven, Orgon fell into his trap. Dorine is a very powerful Character in Tartuffe. Dorine knows Marine love Valere and she will never happy with Tartuffe. Dorian was a well-wisher for Mariane, and she knows Tartuffe want to marry Mariane for her father wealth. In this play Dorine role is a great well-wisher and good friend.
Orgon is a character that is easily manipulated. Orgon is played multiple times by Tartuffe from the beginning of the play all the way to the end. Why is he so vulnerable?
It is because he lacks the confidence in himself to make his own decisions and live with them so he lets the guilt get to him. He sees Tartuffe as an opportunity to right some of the wrongs he may have made in life and get close with god once again.
With this lack of confidence Tartuffe was able to get Orgon to do pretty much anything he wanted, until he was finally exposed as the fraud he really was. In the play, Dorine speaks out her thoughts, although she is a maid. However, her voice is very wise and clear throughout the play. She is very loyal to the family that she serves. How is the institution of marriage treated in Tartuffe? Orgon wants his daughter to get marriage with Tartuffe, which means he wants Tartuffe be in-law of son and get into his family.
All but Orgon and Madame Pernelle were aware of this fact — the maid Dorine, the brother-in-law Cleante, the daughter Mariane, and the son Damis. In act 1. Has everyone been well? Dorine: Not quite. My Preferences My Reading List. Home Literature Notes Tartuffe M. Character Analysis M.
