Molière is so topical: a necessary medicine

The Tartuffe, deceivers, hypocrites moral adorning beautiful attires, giving the lesson, do any of the following precepts, in order, by clever manipulation, divert the good souls, despoil them for personal enrichment purposes, you can: Molière ridicules, flattens their wicked game, the shows, the thick light it casts, then stripped of their capricious shadows, thick and black of villainy as cold profiteers without conscience.

"Tartuffe" is a room where violence is transcended by the laughter of the soul. Molière is not playing in the register of [[ASIN: B0014RP69I Scapin]], the Comedia del Arte; not it aims to unmask the hypocrisy that takes power over the minds, the souls of the most dangerous ways, using the sacred through religion, false devotees.

His play aroused much violent reaction on the part of hypocrites. If not for the support of King Louis XIV, she was censored and probably Molière could he feared for his life.

(...) "- P 147-148.

Molière is an inspiration for the citizen fight. The fine writing, chiselled, subtly enhances sensory perception.

What happiness!
