In this picture we can see a cross behind the two men, meaning they may possibly be in a church. They both also wear puffy clothes, In this scene, Cleante brings up the topic of Tartuffe not being such a noble man, and that Orgon shouldn’t admire him so much. Orgon insists on Tartuffe being a holy, pure man. He tells stories about his first time meeting Tartuffe, and how he was astonished by such a humble and honest man in church. Orgon finds Tartuffe’s actions to be impeccable; However, Cleante is not convinced of Tartuffe being what he believes he is. He sees Tartuffe as a “hypocrite”. A person that shows his good actions so proudly is solely doing it to keep up a reputation, not because it’s coming from his heart.
