"Le Tartuffe" is a famous play written by French playwright Molière. It was first performed in 1664 and has since become one of the most recognized works of French theater. The play follows the character of Tartuffe, a pious hypocrite who deceives a wealthy family, the Orgons, with his false devotion and religious righteousness.

In "Le Tartuffe," Orgon and his mother, Madame Pernelle, are completely infatuated with Tartuffe and believe him to be a model of religious virtue. Despite the warnings and suspicions from other family members, Orgon continues to trust Tartuffe blindly. He even plans to marry Tartuffe to his daughter, Mariane, despite her love for another man, Valère.

However, the other characters in the play, including Orgon's wife Elmire, his son Damis, and the cunning servant Dorine, see through Tartuffe's façade. They hatch a plan to expose Tartuffe's true nature and save the family from his influence. In the end, Tartuffe's hypocrisy is revealed, and the family is able to escape his clutches.

"Le Tartuffe" is a satirical comedy that critiques religious hypocrisy, gullibility, and the dangers of blind faith. Molière expertly uses wit, humor, and clever wordplay to deliver his message. The play sparked controversy upon its initial release due to its critical portrayal of religious figures, but it has since become a beloved classic of French literature.
