When the religious hypocrite Tartuffe ingratiates himself with Orgon and his mother Mme. Pernelle, he is taken into their home and promised Orgon’s daughter’s hand in marriage, even as he secretly attempts to seduce Orgon’s wife, Elmire. Everyone else in the family sees through Tartuffe’s pose, and his machinations and hypocrisies are eventually exposed, but is it too late to save the family from eviction and to keep Orgon from being thrown in prison.
