The play Tartuffe starts out in Paris, France in the home of Orgon. Orgon had just taken in Tartuffe to live with him and his family in his home. Tartuffe wasn’t a good man, he lied, stole, cheated and many more things. Tartuffe didn’t present himself that way though, he made himself look good. He made people believe that he was a religious, good man, when really he was a hypocrite. He fooled both Orgon and Organ’s mother, Madame Pernelle. They believed that he was a good man, when the rest of the family including Orgon's wife, Elmire saw straight through Tartuffe and saw that he was a bad man. Orgon liked Tartuffe so much that he split up Marianne’s, his daughter, engagement so that Tartuffe could marry him. He also gave Tartuffe his will,
