Molière
Don Juan, or The Feast with the Statue
In Don Juan, Molière delivers a powerful critique of hypocrisy, perhaps even more biting than in Tartuffe. The protagonist is portrayed as a man of wealth, nobility, and audacity, who shows utter disregard for both divine and earthly authority. With impeccable manners but despicable principles, Don Juan embodies the archetype of a polished deceiver—an individual who exploits the privileges of his noble birth while shirking its responsibilities. Molière does not merely present the nobleman as a figure of ridicule; rather, he renders him a terrifying embodiment of moral decay. - Summary by The Translator
