the 17th century satirical French play Tartuffe by Jean Baptiste Moliere. You can read more about Moliere here: https://www.britannica.com/biography/Moliere-French-dramatist
When you are reading the play focus on the following points:
The function of Reason and the Voice of Reason: What is the function of reason in the play? Who embodies the Voice of Reason? Cleante, Elmires brother functions in a way as a voice of reason. He tried to balance Tartuffes position and his religious fervor, but are his arguments persuasive or effective?
Why does Orgon transfer all his power, money and authority to Tartuffe? How does Tartuffe persuade him to do so?
What role does religious fanaticism play in Orgons life and in the play as a whole? Pay close attention to 1.5.22-28.
What is the critique of marriage that the play offers? What is the role of the various female characters? Think particularly about how Elmire and Dorine navigate their positions and about Marianne.
Finally, think about the ending. The King intervenes in a Dues Ex Machina moment, to save Orgon and the family from Tartuffes predation. How does this ending resonate with the themes of the play?

Doug LOVES donuts. He travels daily to the Daves Donut Shop for a delicious donut. One day while driving to Daves, Doug is at a stoplight, daydreaming of donuts. Doug is facing east, into the beautiful morning sunrise, at a stop light. While not paying attention, the light turns green, and Doug doesnt realize it. Meanwhile, a young mother, Tabitha, is taking a van full of children to school and is travelling behind Doug, (east into the sun), and sees the light is green but she expects Doug to begin driving. Doug doesnt move, because he doesnt realize the light is green. Tabitha is overly distracted by the van full of kids, and turns around to maintain order in the van, while never slowing down believing Doug was going to accelerate through the green light. Tabitha at the speed limit rear-ends Doug causing a collision.
The collision is more than a fender bender. Tabithas van is heavily damaged, but drivable and Dougs car must be towed from the scene. Doug is furious, not only because his car is damaged, but he is sore and can already envision the medical bills he will face from whiplash. Doug also realizes that this event will cause him to not get to Daves Donuts before work, and he will not get his daily donut. This realization puts Doug into a blind donut-passion fueled rage. Doug is so frustrated that he cant help but want to take some frustration out on someone, something, really anything to expel his frustration.
Doug sees J.R. on the sidewalk, walking his cat. Doug hates cats, and doesnt understand why anyone would walk a cat on a sidewalk. Doug runs behind J.R. to exclaim Dont walk your cat, sidewalks are for dogs!, but Doug doesnt get the opportunity to do so, as J.R., hears his footsteps, jerks around violently and ruptures a disc in his back. J.R. later explained to medical personnel that he felt someone was going to attack him or his cat, so he turned around faster than normal to see what was happening, and he got hurt.
An ambulance is called to tend to J.R.s injured back. While transporting J.R. to the hospital, medical personnel are faced with J.R.s demands this is cat, Princess must accompany him to the hospital. Reluctantly, the medical personnel agree, if for nothing more than to keep J.R. at peace while in transit. While in transit, J.R. becomes furious that Princess was placed in an impromptu cage in the ambulance, and slaps a first responder whom was aiding in the transport. Eventually, J.R. is given medication to help him relax and he is safely transported to the hospital.
