In acts I and II of Moliere’s Tartuffe  we are introduced to a family struggling to cope with their father’s recent behavior. Their father (Orgon) has changed recently due to his relationship with a religious worshipper named Tartuffe. Through Orgon’s relationship with Tartuffe he has adopted all the beliefs that Tartuffe holds and therefore implemented these beliefs on to his family against there will. In the play Dorine states” he is intoxicated with Tartuffe… Orgon carrases him, embraces him, and shows more love for him than any mistress knows (149).” This quote from Dorine perfectly describes the relationship that Tartuffe and Orgon have. Their relationship is more toxic than it is healthy. After only knowing Tartuffe for a short while Orgon begins to put him before his family. When Orgon returns home after two days away he has a conversation with Dorine, and even though his wife almost died while he is gone, he only seems to care how Tartuffe was during the two days. Orgon and Tartuffe’s relationship is fueled by underlying motivations from each. Orgon uses Tartuffe as a way to better himself for god and make him more religious, while Tartuffe is enjoying all the amenities Orgon has given him. Most people will say it is impossible for something like this to happen, but I disagree. I think this is a plausible relationship and could happen in real life. Orgon met a religious man who seemed to have all the answers to what life has to offer. Orgon may have had an emptiness within him that needed to be filled by something such as religion. People can be very vulnerable based on their situations in life. Orgon and Tartuffe’s relationship is similar to the way Isis recruits young kids from America. They target vulnerable people who need have a void in their life and need it to be filled.I have never been involved in a relationship like this but I do see how it could happen. People get effectuated with celebrities, athletes and even like in Moliere’s Tartuffe  a religious leader.
