Tartuffe 1.5

So Orgon and cleante start talking and joking around witch each other about Tartuffe, I constantly caught the sarcasm an the teasing, then things got very serious and Orgon finally explained why Tartuffe is even in the play. And cleante clearly thinks Tartuffe is just a hipocrit and is lying to Orgon.

They both have these huge monologues in this scene, all in rhyme of course, and it did take me a few tries to understand the basic meaning.which is driving me crazy that im not catching on to more, sooner!

But I see how strong everyone's opinions are about religion or clergy men specifically. Cleante goes off about clergy men for almost a full page. What I want toknow is what is tartuffe doing wrong? I get he's almost stealing from Orgon and using him, but Orgon is letting him. Why is everyone calling him a hypocrit against the church? WHAT IS THE BIG DEAL?

Pg-100
