Tartuffe Essay, Research Paper

I was in the audience at the proformance of Tartuffe the first night it


played at Prairie High School. I really liked Tartuffe, i felt that the play was


pretty funny, and i liked how it started off by letting the audience know


Tartuffe is a fraud. I thought it was a very good production.


In Tartuffe we get pretty much a personal view into Orgons?s home, all


of the play takes place here. In Act I, scene 4, Tartuffe, coming into church


everyday and drawing attention with his loud prayer. In church Orgon would


offer him gifts and he would say they were twice too much and immediately


give some to the poor, again this kind of thing makes the audience realize


that Tartuffe is a fraud and that he has Madame Pernelle and Orgon


convinced that he is perfect. Sooner or later Orgon invites Tartuffe to live in


his home. Tartuffe immediality takes everything over. He convinces Orgon


to turn the house over to him along with some important papers. Orgon is


totally in the dark on whats going on and everytime a member of his family


tries to talk to him about it he gets all mad and the have a fight. Tartuffe?s


whole reason for being in the home is that he is trying to suduce Orgons


young wife. Everyone in his family knows what?s going on and they set


tartuffe up to take a fall. It works and Orgon throws Tartuffe out of the


house, But what we all forgot is that Orgon had signed everything over to


Tartuffe and Tartuffe has Orgon and his family evicted from the home.


Luckily, the good king sees through Tartuffe and has him arrested.


This play is set in Orgons home. The technical elements of this play


are used to set a mood for the play. Like when Tartuffe starts to take over


Orgons home, Tartuffes assisstant begins to change the rugs and drapes to the


color green, {Tartuffes main color}, and then when Tartuffe starts to lose his


control on Orgon, the maid come out and removes the green and replaces it


with the regular color. I really wasnt effected by the changing of the colors


until i thoug

ht back to what happened and realized why it happened. Then it


started to make a little better of a picture., of how Tartuffe was taking over


then losing control. The lighting of the play was all together good but what i


noticed is when Damis is playing a video game in the corner it was a little


hard to see and here him because everyone was in front of him and he was in


the corner. I liked the costumes used in Tartuffe I liked how Tartuffe and his


servant wore green and then Orgon started wearing green, then Orgon went


back to his regular clothes, and Tartuffe wore some pimp clothes, that we


neet i got how that was working from the start.


I dont quite recall many sound effects being used in the show, but


before and during intermission there was alot of classical music playing so


we got the idea that we were going to see a a play about rich people.


The way the playwrite uses Tartuffe in the beginning of the play to


make himself look like a hyprocrit, is one of the reasons that i liked the play


because i really think that when the audience doesnt like the villian it makes


for a way better play. And i think that the whole audience thought that


Tartuffe was a moron by the end of the first act. I really had a hard time


understanding the play while i was in the audience, because I was under the


influence that the play took place in the 14 or 15 hundreds. I didnt find out


intil the next day that the play had been moved up in time abit the the 1990?s.


I just felt that the old english used in the play didnt quite equal out with the


whole 1990?s thing. That was one of the only thing that i didnt like about


Tartuffe. I felt that it was trying to make a point, not to trust everyone


because looks can be decieving. I think that Tartuffe was really meant for


everyone to have a good laugh, there wasnt much else to it.


I think that since i already read the script, that is what made me


confused about the place in time that the play held. If i wouldnt have read


the play before I saw it I think i would have been a little more in tune with


what was going on.
