Summary/Abstract: The article deals with some strategical choices in new Polish translations of Molière’s "Tartuffe". The strategy we are interested in concerns some forms of address, especially terms of kinship, as well as epithets relative to drama characters. The target of three analyzed translations is the contemporary audience, so their style uses current expressions and idioms, nevertheless avoiding colloquialism and informal speech.
