Dom Juan is a play about a nobleman who lives only for pleasure, seducing women and mocking convention, religion and duty. He travels from place to place with his long-suffering servant Sganarelle, who reluctantly goes along and often protests. Along the way they meet abandoned lovers, angry relatives, peasants and a beggar, and each encounter tests the master's cynicism. Molière's version of the legendary seducer mixes comedy with darker themes of hypocrisy and judgment. It was controversial in its day and is still widely performed.
