Summary "Œuvres complètes, Tome 3" by Molière is a collection of classic French comedic works likely written in the mid-17th century. This volume features some of Molière's most renowned plays, including "Don Juan," showcasing the author's keen exploration of themes such as infidelity, satire, and the moral dilemmas faced by his characters. The prominent figure in "Don Juan" is, unsurprisingly, Don Juan, a charming and unscrupulous seducer whose reckless pursuits lead to a series of dramatic confrontations and moral consequences. The opening of "Don Juan" introduces the audience to Sganarelle, the cynical servant of Don Juan, who expresses his concerns over his master's unfaithfulness and libertine lifestyle. As they discuss Don Juan's intentions, it becomes clear that he is embroiled in yet another romantic conquest, pursuing a young fiancée while neglecting his existing commitments. Sganarelle attempts to caution him about the consequences of his actions and the potential for divine retribution, foreshadowing the play's exploration of morality and the ramifications of a life lived in defiance of societal and religious expectations. This exchange sets the stage for the unfolding drama, highlighting themes of seduction, betrayal, and the impending repercussions of Don Juan's actions. (This is an automatically generated summary.)
