'''''Don Juan, or The Feast with the Statue''''' (''Dom Juan, ou le Festin de pierre'' in French) is a comedic play by {{Creator/Moliere}} which takes its influence from the legend of Literature/DonJuan. Moliere's Don Juan begins the play by breaking the heart of Dona Elvira, who he pressured into leaving her convent to marry him just a few months earlier. Don Juan has a habit of letting his heart go where it pleases, and his latest fancy is a peasant girl. Or rather, two peasant girls. He drags his valet, Sganarelle, along with him as he works to win both their hearts at once. Unfortunately for him, the fact that he has insulted the chaste Elvira's honor has driven her brothers after him-- and his wanton loving leads ghosts to warn him of the fate of his mortal soul.
''Don Juan'' is, characteristic of Moliere, an attack on hypocrisy, infidelity, and, at one point, [[ArsonMurderAndJaywalking doctors.]] All that, and it's funny, too!
