Review # 1 was written on 2016-01-03 00:00:00 Marthe Gardner Le Tartuffe, ou L'Imposteur = Tartuffe, or The Impostor, or The Hypocrite, Molière Tartuffe, first performed in 1664, is one of the most famous theatrical comedies by Molière. The characters of Tartuffe, Elmire, and Orgon are considered among the greatest classical theater roles. Orgon's family is up in arms because Orgon and his mother have fallen under the influence of Tartuffe, a pious fraud (and a vagrant prior to Orgon's help). Tartuffe pretends to be pious and to speak with divine authority, and Orgon and his mother no longer take any action without first consulting him. Tartuffe's antics do not fool the rest of the family or their friends; they detest him. Orgon raises the stakes when he announces that he will marry Tartuffe to his daughter Mariane (already engaged to Valère). Mariane feels very upset at this news, and the rest of the family realizes how deeply Tartuffe has embedded himself into the family. ... تاریخ نخستین خوانش: چهارم ماه ژانویه سال 2014میلادی عنوان: تارتوف؛ اثر: مولیر؛ مترجم: مهشید نونهالی؛ تهران، نشر قطره، 1391؛ در 152ص؛ شابک 9786001195334؛ موضوع: نمایشنامه های نویسندگان فرانسوی سده 17م تارتوف یا شیاد، فریبکار، ریائی، غاصب، منافق؛ از مشهورترین کمدیهای «مولیر» است؛ روانشاد «محمدعلی فروغی» نیز با عنوان «میرزا کمال الدین» به روش اقتباس، همین اثر را ترجمه کرده است؛ در این کمدی، «مولیر» از یکی از آسیب‌ها، و مشکلات موجود در فرانسه‌ ی سده هفدهم میلادی سخن می‌گویند؛ و انسان‌هایی را به تصویر می‌کشند؛ که در پشتِ تقدسِ لباس مذهب، افکار آلوده و نیت‌های باطل خود را پنهان می‌کنند؛ سده ی هفده میلادی، دوران رنسانس و رویارویی مذهب و علم بود، و از اینرو پرسش کردن از دین، و جایگاه آن، با توجه به پیشینه‌ ی تلخی که کلیسا، و کنش بسیاری از کشیشان، در ذهن مردم بر جای بگذاشته بود، امری طبیعی می‌نمود؛ «مولیر» در واقع با یاری از زبان کمیک، و نمایشنامه‌ های کمدی‌ خویش، و انتقاد اجتماعی، که به نارسائیهای اجتماعی جامعه‌ اش وارد می‌کرد؛ شهرتی در میان همگان به دست آورده بود؛ «مولیر» با هوشیاری تمام، پی برده بود، که تراژدی و یا نمایشنامه‌ هایی که صرفاً جنبه‌ ی پند و اندرز دارند، دیگر برای مردمان زمانِ او، جذاب نیستند؛ از همین رو بود که کمدی را برگزیدند؛ در تراژدی، نمایشنامه‌ نویس، بر عظمت و قهرمان بودن انسان، تأکید دارد، اما در کمدی، بر نقاط ضعف، و اشتباهات آدمی، انگشت میگذارد؛ اگر تراژدی بر آزادی انسان تأکید دارد، کمدی، از نارسائیهای موجود در زندگی اجتماعی، سخن می‌گوید؛ کمدی، انسان را به خنده وامی‌دارد؛ خنده‌ ای که همانطور که بینشگر را سرگرم می‌کند، جنبه‌ ی آموزشی نیز، برایش بهمراه دارد تاریخ بهنگام رسانی 23/08/1399هجری خورشیدی؛ ا. شربیانی

Review # 2 was written on 2016-09-05 00:00:00 Zachary Larson Book Review 4 out of 5 stars to Tartuffe a play written in 1664 by Molière. I read this play as part of a course on Theatre and Drama several years ago. I also acted in a staged version of this story. I really enjoyed it, especially learning more about the characters and story through the director's eyes and opinions. The story is about a con artist who worms his way into a family's affections by claiming to be a religious man. The father essentially offers his daughters hand in marriage to the main character, but over time, realizes something is not right. It was a commentary on how Moliere felt about religion in the 17th century, especially how some people were using it as a way to look pious on the outside, but do whatever they wanted behind closed doors. There's great sarcasm, wit and humor in the play, especially if you let yourself approach it in a comedic way, rather than get caught up on understanding all the background and setting. Read it as though it weren't necessary about religion, focusing on the way a person can disguise their true intentions to achieving their goals. A definite good one for people who want to sample some plays from over 300 years that are quite different in style from Chaucer, Shakespeare or Milton's ways... FYI - Read this years ago either as a kid or in college, but wrote up a review recently... About Me For those new to me or my reviews... here's the scoop: I read A LOT. I write A LOT.
