Tartuffe is a comic tragedy about a family in crisis, deception, hypocrisy, and social masks under Louis XIV's rule.

'Tartuffe' is the most famous play in this collection. Subject to censorship and interdiction in its time, Wood introduces the play with a preface and two petitions to the King from Moliere. Although they are revealing about Moliere's absolute dependency on the monarch, and the need to flatter culminating in the play's preposterous deus ex machina, they necessarily caricature the play's complexity.

Tartuffe the religious hypocrite who tries to bring down the social order, who reveals the aristocracy's own hypocrisy (look at the amount of two-facedness needed to expose him), forces them down to his level, makes blatant the fundamental desires high society would prefer not to acknowledge - sex, food, wealth etc. The true horror of Tartuffe's marriage with Marianne is not that he is a repulsive bigot, but because he is trying to wrest power and means from the nobility (a job already started by the Figaro-like maid). I bet it wasn't really the Tartuffes who hated this play.

In addition to...if you choose... (Are you looking for different language? or ideas / thoughts?) Success... can also be achieved by having failures in life. You can learn from them, you can correct them and become a stronger person because of them. This way, you are better prepared for further obstacles in life. Failure... can also be achieved in success. If you personally do nothing with the success, you do not share it with others, or you don't learn from it. (taken for granted), you can fail yourself. There was a saying I heard once, (unknown source), "You have to work just as hard to get an A in class as you do fto get an F."
