Overview

Molière found an ally in the person of the King. Both men were targeted and weary of the attacks from the “right‑thinking” members of the Catholic Church. So when Molière read the first three acts of Tartuffe to the King — a fierce portrait of a false devotee — the sovereign decided to have the play performed at Versailles, before the entire Court.
