The works Tartuffe and Candide are plays that were written in the movement called the Elightment or the Age of Reason. ... One of the Enlightenment themes discussed in both Tartuffe and Candide is Religion. ...
In the play Tartuffe we deal mainly with discounted religion. In the play, Orgon was blinded Tartuffe, a religious fanatic. ... And Tartuffe”(26)? ... Not only was he inconsiderate he though Tartuffe was God as he says in this scene to Cleante "Oh, had you seen Tartuffe as I first knew him, Your heart, like mine, would have surrendered to him"(27). Well this statement says clearly shows that he gave his heart to Tartuffe instead of Christ. ... Tartuffe also allows Orgon to put his own son out in the streets. Tartuffe was a liar as he tells Orgon in Act III Scene VII “They’re all against me here; they’d have you think me false and insincere”(49). These are just a few examples of how religion was discounted in Tartuffe.
