Tartuffe 2.4

So Valere finds out about Tartuffe and Mariane, and Is obviously pissed off. What I don't get is Mariane doesn't say to Valere that she doesn't want to marry Tartuffe, instead she says I don't know. What were the last 3 scenes about then!!! And Valere automatically tells her marry him then. You've been engaged for some time, you both love each other, obviously she doesn't want to marry some old guy! The Mariane, I guess out of spite or annoyance with Valere says she's happy about marrying Tartuffe. I do not get these two! Just shut up and get married! This whole scene neither comes out and says I love you. Instead they lie to each other. Mariane says she's happy marrying Tartuffe, Valere says he's fine with it and she can do whatever she pleases, even hough most of his lines are sarcastic.

Then, FINALLY voice of reason Dorine comes in and basically (another comedic moment) treats them like children saying I'm sorry to each other, except it's gem saying I love you to each other. But Mariane and Valere both have this desperate moment, of what can we do Dorine?! Thank god for her, otherwise they would all be screwed.she cmes up with he plan to stall the wedding and eventually make Orgon see that Valere is the right man for his daughter.

So today was the last day of filming, and we finished everything. Thank god. I'm very proud of my group, especially of lea who took so much pride in her work and always gave it 100000%. Miguel was always helpful and organized. Emily I was super surprised by. She really worked hard and I'm happy with what she gave us to work with. I'm excited to see my directing work, however crappy it turns out. I atleast know that I tried something I've been waiting to do since freshman year. Though I defiantly think I'm more of a theatre person than a film person.
