Book Reviews of the Tartuffe, by Moliere
Customer Review: Warning: Do NOT read!
Summary: 1 Stars
"Tartuffe" by Moliere is a feeble attempt at extrodinary literature. The writing itself is lacking in drama and power, and the development of the play through rhyme patterns fails to alleviate the torment of reading it. The reader must realize that at the time Moliere was penning this work, he was in debtor's prison. His clever incorporation of monarchial laud was his means of finding favor in the prince to possibly mitigate his sentence, as well as for him [Moliere] to raise enough to set bail. "Tartuffe" is a boring play satirizing Catholic religion and ignorant people who are duped by a wily man using God to deceive and rob a family who cannot see the true nature of Tartuffe. In fact, "tartuffe" is French for "thief". I seriously would not recommend reading this play, and know 11 other people who would agree.
