Molière’s play exposes those who turn religion into a weapon of power and who build their careers upon religious hypocrisy. Orgon’s house is a scaled-down replica of the world, a hot-bed of envy, duplicity and destruction. Molière confronts us with another side of our human nature that leads to over-zealousness, abuse, manipulation and delusion.
