"Don Juan, ou le Festin de pierre" by Molière is a comedic play written in the mid-17th century. The story features the notorious character Don Juan, a libertine and seducer who embodies hedonism and challenges the morality of those around him. The opening establishes his contempt for social conventions and sets the stage for his various escapades, including his complicated relationships with women and the consequences of his actions. The beginning of the play introduces us to Sganarelle, Don Juan's servant, who expresses his concerns about his master's reckless and immoral behavior. Don Juan is presented as a charismatic yet unscrupulous character, ready to abandon his past lover, Elvire, for new conquests. Sganarelle warns him that his current affections might not end well, and their conversation reveals Don Juan's flippant attitude towards love and fidelity. When Elvire confronts Don Juan about his abrupt departure, it becomes clear that his charm and manipulative nature are at play. The interplay of humor, moral questioning, and the dramatic tension of a libertine's audacity unfolds as the stage is set for the consequential events of the play.
