Seeing through the cunning and vile nature of Tartuffe, the others wanted to make their father throw him out of the house. Even when his children told him of Tartuffe's attempts to seduce their mother, he refused to listen to them. In order to have definite proof of his actions, Damis, the son of Orgon and Elmire, hid and watched as Tartuffe tries to seduce their mother. In anger, Damis came out of his hiding place and denounced him. But Orgon instead threw his own son out of the house. Damis got so angry over Tartuffe's ability to have control over his father, he thought of taking revenge. But this plan was stopped by his uncle Cleante, the brother of Elmire.
