Sоme schоlаrs believe thаt аs the cоntroversy and the charges against the play of being anti-Christian spread and grew, that Moliere re-wrote parts of it to make it less hot-button and polarizing (it didn't work). The quote below is from Act I, Scene V of Tartuffe. Although this monologue is clearly critical of "frank charlatans," make the case that this passage might be an area where Moliere tried to fine-tune and adjust the play's message about Christianity and the Church. What is Moliere (through Cleante) trying to get across that might make the play's message seem less anti-Christian? Use at least one quote from this passage in your answer (you don't have to cite it). Cleante. Brother, I know I'm not the wisest oneNor the most learned man in ChristendomBut in moral matters my greatest coupIs to differentiate false from true.And since I know of no heroes aboutMore to be praised than the truly devoutAnd nothing at all with greater appealThan the holy fervor of saintly zeal,So too nothing could be more odiousThan the white-washed face of a zeal that's specious,Or these frank charlatans, seeking places,Whose false and sacrilegious double facesExploit our love of God and make a gameOf our reverence for Christ's holy name.These people who, with a shop-keeper's soul,Make cheap trinkets to trade on the Credo,And hope to purchase credit and favorBought with sly winks and affected fervor;These people, I say, whose uncommon hurryOn the path to Heaven leads through their treasury,Who, writhing and praying, demand a profit each dayAnd call for a Retreat while pocketing their pay,Who know how to tally their zeal with their vices,--Faithless, vindictive, full of artifices--To ruin someone they'll conceal their resentmentWith a capacious cloak of Godly contentment.They are doubly dangerous in their vicious ireBecause they destroy us with what we admire,And their piety, which gains them an accolade,Is a tool to slay us with a sacred blade.There are many men in this false disguise,But those with pure hearts are easy to recognize.Our age, my friend, has brought into plain sightMany glorious examples of what is right.Look at Ariston, or Periandre,Oronte, Alcidamus, or Clitandre;Their title is one that all agree to.They decline any fanfare for their virtue;They don't indulge in vain ostentation;Their humane faith finds form in moderation;They never censure all of our actions,For they sense the vain pride in such transactions.And, leaving boastful rhetoric to others,By their own actions they reprove their brothers.The appearance of evil is no concern of theirs;They cast the best light on others' affairs.They plot no intrigues; seek no one to fleece;Their only concern is to live at peace.They don't seek to cause any sinner chagrin;Their abhorrence is directed only at sin.And they don't take the side of God more extremelyThan God himself--who could act supremely!These are my models, and these are their ways;Such examples are the ones that most merit praise.
