In Tartuffe, how does Moliere dramatize the relationship between convention and morality.

In the drama, Moliere draws a sharp contrast between
conventional behavior and morality. This is seen most clearly through the character of
Orgon. As the head of his household, Orgon wields complete power over his family, as is
the social convention of his day. In this role he dissolves his daughter's engagement to
the man she loves, an engagement he had previously approved. He breaks Mariane's heart
by keeping her from Valere and further compounds her misery by deciding she will marry
the odious Tartuffe. Additionally, when his son Damis attacks Tartuffe's character,
Orgon drives his son from the family home and decides to disinherit him. As the father
of Mariane and Damis, Organ acts within his conventional social role, but his actions
are immoral; he abuses his power and betrays his
children.

In the play's conclusion, Orgon realizes that
Tartuffe is a devious fraud who has managed to take ownership of Orgon's property.
Orgon's reaction is a conventional one. He wants revenge; he wants Tartuffe to suffer
for his actions. The moral contrast to Orgon's desire for vengeance is then provided by
Cleante who counsels Orgon to pray for Tartuffe rather than destroy him. Orgon has paid
conventional lip service to Christian morality throughout the play, quite
hypocritically. Cleante urges him to practice it.
