A five act comedy centered on the character of a Spanish nobleman, an unapologetic libertine who rejects religion, morality, and social obligation in favor of satisfying his own desires. The protestations of his faithful servant, the remonstrations of his father, and the pleading of his current wife do nothing to dissuade him from his relentless schemes, as the story follows his ever-escalating pursuit of pleasure and conquest. Molière weaponizes his characteristic wit to deliver a sharp critique of aristocratic decadence while simultaneously exposing the hypocrisy of those who condemn from the false pedestal of religious indignation.
