The effect literature has had on society is just as important. Tartuffe, by Moliere is a good example. Moliere wrote this hilarious play about court politics in 1664. It is cunningly written, but it is a farce, and has the entire court and countryside laughing at the king of France. If the king had not had a real liking for Moliere, he would have lost his head over this play. (It helped, that the king laughed, too.).
