Dom Juan ou le Festin de pierre is a five-act 1665 comedy by Molière based upon the Spanish legend of Don Juan Tenorio.[1] The aristocrat Dom Juan is a rake who seduces, marries, and abandons Elvira, discarded as just another romantic conquest. Later, he invites to dinner the statue of a man whom he recently had murdered; the statue accepts and reciprocates Dom Juan's invitation. In the course of their second evening, the stone statue of the murdered man charms, deceives, and leads Dom Juan to Hell.[2] <
