In Act, I, Scene 4, Orgon's reactions are hilarious because he wants to know the household news. He asked about how the family was doing, but in short, he was only concerned about Tartuffe. In Act I, Scene 2, Dorine says, "He calls him brother, and loves him as his life, preferring him to mother, child, or wife" (lines 15-16). This is seen in his attitude towards the household news. His wife was sick, "simply hellish," and all Orgon was concerned about was Tartuffe. Every time Dorine told Orgon about the condition of his wife, all Orgon repeated was, "And Tartuffe?... poor fellow." It is ironic for Tartuffe was in perfect health and enjoying himself in Orgon's house, and yet Orgon felt as if he needed more.
             Orgon insists on his authority in Acts II and III. In Act III, Scene I, Orgon insist that his daughter, Marianne, marry Tartuffe. "Yes, Tartuffe shall be your husband, is that clear?" (lines 27-29). In his firmness to be correct, he undermines Dorine in the line "I'm master here, as you must not forget" (line 22). Dorine kept telling Orgon that it would be a big mistake if Marianne married Tartuffe. Dorine tries in vain to tell Orgon that Tartuffe is not what he thinks he is; that he is not a pious man but a fake.
             In Act III, it was seen that Tartuffe made a move on Elmire. Damis overheard the entire conversation from the closet and told the news to Orgon. To Damis' surprise, Orgon bluntly refused to acknowledge this. Orgon accuses his son of lying to him. "Ah, you deceitful boy, how dare you to satin his purity with so foul a lie" Act II, Scene 6 (lines 14-15). Orgon made it clear to everyone that nothing they do can prevent his marriage plan between Tartuffe and Marriane. To show his authority, Orgon disinherits his son Damis and gives the deed to Tartuffe. "What's more, I'm going to drive them to despair by making you my only son and heir" Act III, Scene 6 (lines 35-36).
