  • Exponentially Growing Ignorance and Greed

    1145 Words  | 3 Pages

    Back when there were not rapid advances in technology, people were living agreeably amongst each other. They used candles, wrote letters, and invested their time in reading and gaining more knowledge. They did not have all the luxuries people have today, but they were content. They valued education, the arts, and hard work. In Europe, people such as Leonardo Da Vinci, Galileo, Copernicus, Monet, Einstein, and others strove to depict the beauty of their world and find explanations to natural phenomena. Richard Eckersley wrote, “It doesn’t make evolutionary sense to believe humans lived in misery until we discovered technological progress.” When people did not realize the potential of technology, they lived their life in contentment. Once people became aware of the fact that they could perform tasks quicker with the newer technology, they began wanting more of it. Scientists began researching and conducting experiments to enhance the new inventions. As they found ways to produce items...

  • Hypocrisy In Tartuffe

    394 Words  | 1 Pages

    Tartuffe is one of the masterpieces of Molière. This play not just presents a funny image of the hypocrite Tartuffe, but also criticizes the fraudulence and harmfulness of “ecclesiastical noblemen”. Tartuffe is a reflection of hypocrisy of some Catholics at that time. Although the title of this play is Tartuffe, Tartuffe doesn't comes on stage until the ACTIII SCENEII. Instead of introducing the character at the beginning of the play, Molière uses two ACTs to describe how others feel about Tartuffe. In this way, the audience has a basic idea of the characteristics of Tartuffe before the character appears. Through the quarrel in Orgon’s house and the dialogue between Marine and Dorine, the audience can notice what a trouble Tartuffe has caused to Orgon’s family. Also, from these plots, the audience can easily understand that Orgon is deceived by

    Technology, what is it? It’s usually something new, and better than the old idea. Technology started with cars, stoves, TV, radios, etc. Cars takes somebody from one place to another, faster than walking, running, or biking and one could go places without getting tired. Stoves allowed one to conveniently be able to turn on and off heat to a cooking utensil with less clean up. The biggest contributor to making our lives easier would be computers, which has come a long way since its introduction to the world. Also, computers have the ability to be improved more, and more in time. In general, technology started off by comforting our lives. Now, the rapid growth of technology has replaced the need for one’s own intellect.

  • Elements Of Comedy In Tartuffe

    1067 Words  | 3 Pages

    Tartuffe is a satirical comedic play written by Molière in 1664. It is focused around the family of Orgon and the character of Tartuffe, who has become Orgon’s personal holy man. Before being brought into Orgon’s home, Tartuffe was nothing more than a common beggar who learned how to act pious. Throughout this play, we see Orgon give everything he owns to Tartuffe: his love, his money, his daughter, and even the deed to his house. While everyone else in the household sees Tartuffe for who he really is, Orgon remains blind to it throughout most of the play. Orgon is warned many times by different members of the household, including his own son, yet he only chooses to lash out against those speaking. From early on in the play we as readers are able to recognize that Tartuffe is no more than a hypocrite and Orgon is a blind fool. In the play Tartuffe by Molière there are several different important themes that impact this work,
