I have been Tartuffied, and like poor Mariane, I was also forced into it since I needed to read this for a class. I am not big on 17th century French literature, so I knew it was gonna be rough going.
Thankfully, Tartuffe reads very easily and fast, really fast. Moliere very obviously wanted to teach a lesson here, the constant sermonizing (Cleante I'm looking at you), was not subtle at all, though I suppose not a lot was subtle in this play. The characters are a bit one sided (this ain't Shakespeare), and therefore very easy to understand. And you do laugh, a little snicker escapes here or there.
Overall it's pretty good. The play perfectly complements the zeitgeist of the 1600's, and I suppose I now have a new literary word to call hypocrites...

So fun! I had never heard of it before and only read it because of my literature course in Uni. It is actually funny and I laughed out loud multiple times.
