Le Tartuffe by Molière

---

I read this for my Masterpieces of World Literature course; very engaging! How remarkable that Moliere can consistently keep the same couplet rhyme scheme and meter! (And I was reading an English translation as well!) Very similar to Shakespeare, in it that the women dominate the course of the events; without Dorine, we would not have a story. It's a testament to female significance in French society in this neo-classicism period, as women in this region were able to partake in intellectual discussion and thought.
