- Although Tartuffe is undeniably deserving of the heaviest punishment possible for his manipulative behavior, the ending of the play is not justified because it provides the readers with unrealistic consequences for Orgon’s foolish actions.
- In Tartuffe, Moliere alters people’s view of religion by creating a spiritual character that is praised for his relationship with G-d and his holy actions, and eventually indicating that the character is truly wicked and aims to destroy a family.

i completely agree with the second thesis and especially like how you justified it with a prime example from the play. I would try to include the fact that at the time this play was banned which proves your point on how wicked he is.

Tyler,
Your second thesis is perhaps a bit too obvious, so would not lend itself to an in-depth discussion. I think your first statement is much more evocative, but then you would need to be very specific as to the unrealistic consequences (more than at the end?).
