In the first of chapter 4, Cleante bring out the arguments about the Christian’s behavior with Tartuffe. Cleante says” However, if there’s vengeance in your heart, and you act on it, tell me what’s the part that;s Christians in that? And you so base, you’d let a son fall from his father’s grace?” Then, Tartuffe response “ I’d just do that, if it were up to me. I blame him for nothing, don’t you see? “ In this response, we can cleanly understand that he has forgiven Damis. Later on, Tartuffe also said “Heaven’s best interests will have been served when wrongdoers have got what they deserved.” He mean Damis deserved the disinheriting as the wrongdoers have got what they deserved and Tartuffe happy to see this happen. It is very contradiction in Tartffe’s response. Even he doesn’t admit it, I believe that Tartuffe didn’t forgive Damis at all, oppositely, he hate Damis more. The reasoning he doesn’t admit the anger is because he afraid the anger will effect the impression of his art. However, he keep describe himself as a Saints, in order to achieve his purpose.

After that, Tartuffe claims that he despises wealth but he also allows Ogron to transfer his property to him. Tartuffe explain that he that” I’m saving, so everyone understands, This wealth from falling into the wrong hands. Waste of wealth and property’s a crime. But I would use it as part of my plan: For glory of heaven, and the good of man.” In this explanation, it is really ridiculous. He said the reason he take the property is stopped the property fall into the wicked and crimes. Obviously, Tartuffe is using the Saint’s title to take benefit from others. Even Tartuffe use some stupid fancily, Orgen would still believe Tartuffe because the affection of religions is very powerful. However, religions can be taken advantage of.
