Answer:

Tartuffe

Orgon's characteristics that make him easily victimized include Religiosity Gullibility, Shallow Trust, and Lack of Introspection.

Orgon could be easily influenced to believe a charlatan because he pretended to be religious. Even though the Bible instructed us to test every spirit to assess their origin, because "by their fruit, you shall know them," Orgon was blind to this instruction. He relied so heavily on what Tartuffe, a pretentious priest was telling him instead of studying him to discover who he was. At various times, Orgon showed that he put his trust in people. This is also warned against in the books of wisdom. Therein, man was admonished not to put his trust in princes, but only in God. Had Orgon being a little introspective, he could have easily discovered that Tartuffe was a fraud, whose words were sweeter than honey but more vicious in action than the viper. In my place, there is a proverb that says, "do not put yam and goat together." Another says, "do not let your dog guard the bone." Women are never to be allowed near free men. We are always looking for where to put our d..k into. This is why the Church even bans women from living under the same roof with priests.

Step-by-step explanation:

"Tartuffe" is a satirical comedy in five acts written by Molière, in 1664 and published in French in 1669 as Le Tartuffe or "The Imposter." It was written to expose religious scandals.
