Question:In Tartuffe besides orgon who else is in severe disbelief that tartuffe is a fake?


Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: In Tartuffe besides orgon who else is in severe disbelief that tartuffe is a fake?

his mother.

IF you are referring to a character in the play, one would surely be Madame Pernelle, Orgon's mother, who insists that Tartuffe is a good and honorable man until near the end of the play when, at last, she sees that Tartuffe has taken Orgon's property and tried to have him arrested and that he is neither good nor honorable.

IF you are referring to no character in the play, then my answer is the play's first audiences who sat in disbelief as they watched Molière's character Tartuffe. The play was quite different from what they had expected from Molière. He was expected to amuse them, but he did not. Instead, his character Tartuffe forced them to confront the most sinister hypocrisy.
