Wendy Ifenso-Okpala Dr Ress WR 150 The Satirical Nature of Tartuffe The French play, Tartuffe, was written by Moliere in 1664. The major theme in this play is exposing what is wrong in the religious society and Moliere uses comedy to point out this out. This idea agrees with Highet, and Robert Corrigan’s definition of a satire. The first definition made by Highet is that a satire aims to expose what is wrong in our society as Moliere tries to do with religious hypocrites. The second definition

Caulfield is just that. Throughout the novel he expresses his hate towards phonies many times, even though he is one himself. Holden Caulfield is one the biggest phonies in The Catcher in the Rye due to his fake, ingenuine behaviour. His constant lies, hypocrisy, and impersonations of others, are what makes him the exact type of person he hates. Throughout The Catcher in the Rye, Holden lies many times. Not only does he lie to people that he does not trust, and that he is not close to, but he also lies to

In the preceding verse, mostly addressed to the parkhaṇhār (those who can discern), the Pir dismisses the cheat and the liar as a person who is unworthy of respect, trust and attention. This verse focuses on the state and attributes of a liar and a hypocrite – decadent is his state, utter disregard for the truth is his trait and unrestrained perpetration of lies is his favourite pastime! The use of the term jag, translated as ‘world’ in the first line, is figurative, rather than literal, implying

The Things They Carried War is an ugly thing that tends to affect people in different ways and thus people cope in different ways: Some people go insane, some become numb, some turn to drugs, and some process their thoughts by writing. All of these responses are present in The Things They Carried. There is not necessarily one right way to respond to the horrors of war, or life in general, but some insight can be gained by comparing how different characters in the book coped and how they turned

What must also be noted about this time is the fact that the Catholic Church and Politicians had a great deal of power over authors and playwrights. In this time of social and religious persecution, Molière created Tartuffe , a comedy dealing with hypocrisy and to a great extent, religion and how religion can be used in a negative way, to mask sin. The play is known to be offensive towards the Catholic Church and religion in general. When it was first performed in 1664, it was censored,

Hypocrisy is a common attribute attributed to many of Chaucer’s religious characters in The Canterbury Tales. They are greedy, drunks, and people without a moral code. In The Pardoner’s Tale this theme is exemplified. The Pardoner is greedy and drunk. Matthew 19:24 (ESV) says, “Again I tell you, it is easier for a camel to go through the eye of a needle than for a rich person to enter the kingdom of God.” Despite this, the Pardoner’s only goal is to scam as many people as he can with his “pardoning”

adulthood. The story is narrated by a mature man reflecting upon his adolescence and the events that forced him to face the disillusioning realities of adulthood. The minor charac­ters play a pivotal role in this initiation process. The boy observes the hypocrisy of adults in the priest and Mrs. Mercer; and his vain, self-centered uncle introduces him to another disillusioning aspect of adulthood. The boy's infatuation with the girl ultimately ends in disillusion­ment, and Joyce uses the specific example

Mrs. Freeman agrees with everything she says. However, she is unable to realize how ironical everything is and that her moral blindness is much deeper than her visionary “wisdom”. By underestimating her servant she cannot understand Mrs. Freeman’s hypocrisy which can be concluded in her naming Hulga “Joy” in front of “the boss” and with her real name all the other time. This way Mrs. Hopewell becomes easily vulnerable, which raises the question of who of the two women is

her hands, placing his hand on her knee, pulling after her, and fondling the lace collar of her gown. All of these actions were considered unacceptable behavior by ladies and gentleman during the seventeeth century. Tartuffe also shows signs of hypocrisy when he persuades Orgon to give him his daughter, Mariane’s, hand in marriage. In Act III, Scene 3, Tartuffe says: “…But soon, fair being, I became aware That my deep passion could be made to square With rectitude, and with my bounden duty. I
