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. The rest of the
family and their friends are not fooled by Tartuffe’s antics
and detest him. The stakes are raised when Orgon announces
that he will marry Tartuffe to his daughter Mariane (already
engaged to Valère). Mariane is, of course, very upset at
this news and the rest of the family realizes how deeply
Tartuffe has embedded himself into the family.
