Tartuffe 1.2-1.4

so the norton explains this thing called "french scenes" where some scene breaks in the script do not actually mean the changing of a scene, but when characters walk in or out. and the only thing listed are the characters that are on stage at that time. iguess thats slightly confusing to notice location changes, so i'm guessing that the whole play takes place in Orgon's house? im not sure yet.

I find it really funny how no one likes being around Pernelle, except for tartuffe himself apparently. but Tartuffe sounds like a complete ass. He's just mooching off of Orgon, and Orgon hangs on his every word and well being apparently. I still dont get why he's even there in the first  place! Really serious question though, when Cleante and Dorine say Orgon is in love with Tartuffe are they serious? i feel like its a figure of speech, like he just respects Tartuffe and is around him a lot, but if he actually loves him that would make this way more interesting! Because first of all, clergy men aren't supposed to love anyone and ESPECIALLY not another guy. Bu then they say Pernelle is also "in love" with Tartuffe, and that Tartuffe is in love back? i'm just confused if this is ment to mean actual love or just like a respectful obsession.

and then finally Orgon comes home, and he really is obsessed with Tartuffe! His wife was seriously ill, and Dorine tries to tell him and all he says is "poor man!" and "ah, and Tartuffe?" i feel like that would be funny on stage, but just reading it, it sounds so cruel and rude to his wife who has waited for him to return. But Orgon's only care is Tartuffe!!

And Tartuffe hasn't had a line yet. I feel like he would have by now since the play is kind of centered around him right now.

Today i helped clear wood off the stage for the dance show. I also made the light plot and dimmer list. Which was confusing! i understood what to do and all, but flipping back and forth and writing the hotspot area then drawing the whole "beam" i guess. then once we got to the actual electrics it got harder, because half of the things jess hung are side light and two-fered.so i wrote the location of the light on the electric, and where the hotspot was and then tried to draw a plot, but it came out like poop.besides that! i went home and read tartuffe, and tried looking up websites to explain fuenteovajuna, because i want to make sure what i got from the play is correct and im not making things up in my mind.
