There are many misunderstandings surrounding Tartuffe. Hypocrisy is consubstantial with dramatic art, and the impostor’s lie-truth raises the question of the profound theatricality of religious hypocrisy, which in Christianity is rooted in Christ's indictment of the Pharisees. Would it be enough to catch Tartuffe in the act of hypocrisy to remove all the persuasive force of his grimaces? Is devotion inexorably doomed to aporia?
