calistareads 's review for:
Tartuffe
by Molière
Notes from a class in 1994 where I read this:
A high comedy or Comedy of Maners - which began in the 17th Century. 1st age to produce a society of cultivated, educated people who had leisure time, human relations and to the forms and manners that make a society possible.
Presents social pattern of a correct world. There is reason, control and conformity on society and not on the individual. Plots are highly ordered and controlled.
Theme: Degree to which people are driven by their own obsessions to be blind to the needs of others.
Social Conventions: Father would have absolute power over daughters marriages. Deus ex Machina = God of the machine - King sets things right.
Interesting to see my old notes.
