He actually befriended him. In 1664, Molière wrote his most controversial, and, some say his greatest play, Tartuffe. A brilliant satire of religious hypocrisy, the play was less than enthusiastically received by the powerful clergy of the time. Even though Louis XIV was godfather to Molière's son, it took five more years, at least two rewrites and a shameless 'deus ex machina' ending in praise of Louis XIV, before the play was officially permitted a public performance. Tartuffe was a great success, playing a record thirty-three performances.
