First of all, there were parts in this play that made me laugh literally out loud. There were, however, some parts that kind of confused me as well. What I have learned from this play is that Tartuffe was a turd, Orgon needs to work on his discernment, Dorine literally was the best character in the book, and Orgon's mother needed to be institutionalized. With that being said, I seem to have found some form of character traits of myself in a few of the characters.
With Orgon, I see that he is a very trusting man. To the point that the bro gives his entire estate and blessing to a man that he brings off of the streets. I would not go that far, however, I am a very trusting person with most people that I meet. Often times I find that being an open book with literally everyone is not always the ideal thing to do, considering that some people are not open at all about anything. Dorine was blunt and sarcastic, which I absolutely love. Her tongue and what she said got her into trouble sometimes, as does mine. With tartuffe, nothing stuck out to me immediately, most likely because I do not want to be anything like him, but I'm sure if I were honest with myself then I could find something. I do not think I need to be institutionalized like Oregon's mother, but I did think that she was somewhat funny. Something I am very confused about though is when Orgon basically booted his son out of their home after the confronted Tartuffe about hitting on Orgon's wife. Later, he just pops up out of nowhere with no kind of apology or explanation. Did I completely miss something? Like skip a page or doze off while reading or something, or did that actually happen?
Anyways, overall I did enjoy this read. Not only was it short, but it made me laugh and had a somewhat entertaining plot to it. What I enjoyed most about it, however, was the fact that it caused me to think about the characteristics of each character (mostly the bad ones) and relate them to myself. It was almost like a self-check, which is something I did not expect from reading this play.
