Moliere wrote a Tartuffe play that reflects the reality of human nature. The author clearly portrays the nature of the characters and in particular of Orgon and Tartuffe. Through this, we can find the two main reasons why Tartuffe can easily manipulate and exploit Orgon. The first reason Tartuffe found it easy to manipulate and exploit Orgon was because of Orgon's stupidity and ignorance regarding religion. This Orgon weakness makes it easy for him to take advantage of it to create an impressive and reliable religious image. Furthermore, Orgon is the owner of a wealthy family, he is shown to be devout but lacking in knowledge of religion and religion and was impressed by Tartuffe with the image of a religious and devout person. This is represented immediately in Act I of the play in the conversation with Orgon's brother-in-law - Cléante, Orgon always defends Tartuffe that if Cléante sees ''He drew the eyes of all present to himself / By the holy fervor of his pious prayer ''. Orgon is stupid to believe Tartuffe's empty preaching because thanks to it he feels reborn. While Orgon's brother-in-law is an educated, experienced person and well aware of both faith and humanity expressed through analysis in his words. Cléante expressed the idea of Christian virtue truly opposed to religious hypocrisy. he not only warned of Tartuffe's deception but also advised Orgon not to hate and to hate religion because of bad character. Thanks to Cléante's words, we can see the two people's completely opposite understanding and Orgon emerged as the ignorant and ignorant fanatic. Orgon's faith buried by the deception of Tartuffe's appearance "In good faith, you may, praise his great zeal, But I think you are stunned by his senselessness." Say no to plagiarism.

This gullibility seemed to be a characteristic of the Orgon family because his mother also put her trust in Tartuffe and was more resolute than Orgon even when Tartuffe betrayed them. Orgon blindly believes in the sacred apparition of Tartuffe ''Every day he came to church with his tranquility / And threw himself before me on both knees'' with false and cute actions as Tartuffe returned the money for Orgon and shared it with others poor people even if they are very poor. Likewise, Tartuffe has always accused himself of killing a flea on the street and in particular has always declared himself guilty of every mistake when Damis denounced his flirtation with Elmire, Orgon's wife. This only made the Orgon believe in his friend more than his son: “I disinherit you; be an empty bag/ that's all you'll get from me - except my curse! '. In the meeting in the church, Tartuffe not only showed a holy appearance but also claimed to be the person of God. Thus Orgon's stupidity becomes more gullible and puts everything in the hands of the swindler and also of his daughter: 'This was wisely said , my daughter. Say of him then, / That he is the most worthy of men, / And that is why, and he will rejoice / To be his wife if this should be my choice. / Well?''. Then Tartuffe easily saw that this Orgon's weakness was being manipulated completely, making Orgon always put Tartuffe on the happy family and his wife. Molière's comedy Tart Tartuffe is a comedy characterized by the human nature of the time. At that time, they were very devoted to religious beliefs but they were lacking.
