At this play's conclusion a character known simply as "The Officer", a proxy for the nation's monarch, is used as a dues ex machina. In act Three, one character in this work is able to escape punishment, in spite of the informed eavesdropper Damis hiding under a table, by calling himself "a guilty man". That title character, who is arranged to be wed to Mariane, uses the trust in him placed by the head of household to take a strongbox of incriminating letters and leverage it in an attempt to seize Orgon's estate. For ten points, this is what play about a pseudo-religious hypocrite, one of the best know plays of Moliere?
