Tartuffe, or The Impostor, or The Hypocrite (/t??r?t?f, -?tu?f/;[1] French: Tartuffe, ou lImposteur, pronounced [ta?tyf u l??p?st ?]), first performed in 1664, is one of the most famous theatrical comedies by Moli re. The ch
aracters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Orgon are considered among the greatest classical theatre roles.
Moli re performed his first version of Tartuffe in 1664. Almost immediately following its performance that same year at Versailles grand f tes (The Party of the Delights of the Enchanted Island/Les f tes des plaisirs de lile enchant e), King Louis XIV suppressed it, probably due to the influence of the archbishop of Paris, Paul Philippe Hardouin de Beaumont de P r fixe, who was the Kings confessor and had been his tutor.[2] While the king had little personal interest in suppressing the play, he did so because, as stated in the official account of the f te:

"…although it was found to be extremely diverting, the king recognized so much conformity between those that a true devotion leads on the path to heaven and those that a vain ostentation of some good works does not prevent from committing some bad ones, that his extreme delicacy to religious matters can not suffer this resemblance of vice to virtue, which could be mistaken for each other; although one does not doubt the good intentions of the author, even so he forbids it in public, and deprived himself of this pleasure, in order not to allow it to be abused by others, less capable of making a just discernment of it."[3]

As a result of Moli res play, contemporary French and English both use the word "Tartuffe" to designate a hypocrite who ostensibly and exaggeratedly feigns virtue, especially religious virtue. The play is written entirely in twelve-syllable lines (alexandrines) of rhyming couplets – 1,962 lines in all.
