In La Vie de Marianne, Marivaux imagines a false devotee, M. de Climal, whom d'Alembert considered an excellent "Tartuffe de roman", whereas Molière's impostor is "a better Tartuffe de comédie". What resources does the novelistic genre (and in particular the memoir) offer Marivaux to paint another Tartuffe, whose ethos, social identity and paradoxical final repentance nevertheless differ from Molière's play?
