Molière is one of the greatest writers of comedy of all time.

Don Juan playing the women; all his heartless, godless talk; his servant's judgment against him - more vividly drawn here than I've ever seen it before. If I ever used my degree in teaching high school English, I'd throw out Romeo and Juliet and have my students read this version of Don Juan. Girls, know that the average teenage boy thinks just like this, and stay away from these heartless males until they've matured and learned some basic human decency.

Dom Juan or The Feast with the Statue is a French play, a comedy in five acts, written by Molière, and based on the legend of Don Juan. The title of Molière's play is also commonly expressed as Don Juan, a spelling that began in the seventeenth century. Molière's characters Dom Juan and Sganarelle are the French counterparts to the Spanish Don Juan and Catalinón, characters who are also found in Mozart's Italian opera Don Giovanni as Don Giovanni and Leporello.

One of Molière's best-known plays, Don Juan was written while Molière's classic tale of the Seducer of Seville, an uproariously funny story flawlessly translated by the Pulitzer Prize winning poet. Don Juan, the "Seducer of Seville," originated as a hero-villain of Spanish folk legend, is a famous lover and scoundrel who has made more than a thousand sexual conquests. Sadly, with Don Juan, I believe that I have now read all of Richard Wilbur's translations of French drama. Then again, I had thought that years ago and they recently started republishing ones I hadn't read. So maybe I will be pleasantly surprised by some more translations. Sadly also, this is the only Wilbur translation that has any false notes, specifically the dialogue of the rustic peasants in Act II sounds anachronistic and tinny, with phrases like "Hell's bells.
