Sarah Marriott Professor Lavatori French 100 15 April 2014 Tartuffe I saw the comedic play Tartuffe on April 10, 2014 with a small group of my classmates for a field trip. The play was originally called The Impostor, or The Hypocrite, because it is about a con artist named Tartuffe that manipulates Orgon by making him think he is a religious saint. Tartuffe tries to take over all of Orgon’s possessions, and it almost works because all but Orgon knows that Tartuffe is a scoundrel. It was written by Molière and first performed in 1664 at the Versailles fêtes. After its first performance, King Louis XIV censored it because it was thought to slander religion.
‘Comedy involves men of middling estate; its perils are small scale, its outcomes peaceful’. To what extent do you agree with this definition of comedy in relation to Much Ado about Nothing*? Shakespeare’s Much Ado about Nothing is one of the most popular comedies in history, selling out Shakespearean theatres until their closure in 1642. The comedy is thought to be written in 1598 and is often described as a ‘problem play’ meaning it shares tendencies with that of a tragedy. Of course MAAN follows Shakespeare’s traditional comedy structure but modern critics have their own agenda that a comedy, being such a complex genre, should conform to.

Then, the following lines of the first stanza enlighten us about this clock when they inform us that the puppet will never dangle again since the puppeteer, the one who gives it life and movement has cut the strings which held it. From the images that the lines of the first stanza depict, one can easily notice that someone died. In this first stanza, Emily Dickinson cuts the optimism of Rousseau who proclaimed Man is born free, but everywhere is in chain by suggesting that man is born a slave to unseen forces that are destined to strike him down through the image of the stings cut by the puppeteer. In the second and third stanza, Emily talks about the witnesses of death and how man is weak in front of death. The author believes that human beings got the genius of creation, but even with that ability, they
