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

When a play begins, a easily-off Orgon is convinced that Tartuffe occurs as human of awesome religious zeal & fervor. In point of fact, Tartuffe occurs as scheming phony. 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. Following, a word tartufe is utilized around contemporary French, & too inside English, to designate the pretender world health organization apparently & hyperbolically feigns virtue, especially religious virtue.
