Tartuffe occurs as comedy by Molière, and is one of a best known French plays of all time.

Per period Tartuffe is involved & Orgon renounces him, Tartuffe has legal control of Orgon's finances & personal, & is astir to steal completely of Orgon's wealth & marry his girl. Instead a king intervenes, & Tartuffe is condemned to prison.
