Because of my introverted nature, I hate being put into awkward and uncomfortable situations. And for this reason, my skin was crawling throughout this entire play. I don't know whether it was the sliminess of the detestable Tartuffe, or the overbearing fanaticism of Orgon, but I felt on edge the entire time. These passages made me want to dive right into the story and take the Damis approach to solving the problem. It did have a very quick but pleasant ending, however. It was almost as if I had been holding by breath since the middle of the play, and the very end allowed me to exhale and breath again. I just hate to see evil go unpunished, and the fact that Tartuffe almost conned his way to riches enraged me. One important application that I found of these passages, however, was that we can't take everything we hear as truth. This applies to the way we think in general whether it is science or religion, we cant just believe what others say and hold them as facts and truth. We have to discover them for ourselves and make our own logical decisions.
Did anyone else feel the way that I did throughout this play, and did anyone else find similar truths?
P.S. I commented on Rebecca Belew and Gray Moore's posts.
