Adoration Doublet Flirting Juan Moliere Pierre Plays Festin


EDITORS COMMENTS
This image from the Mary Evans Picture Library transports us back to the 17th century and the world of Molière's classic play, "Le Festin de Pierre, or The Misanthrope," specifically Act 2, Scene 5. In this renowned scene, the infamous Don Juan is depicted in the midst of his legendary flirtatious behavior, with a girl on each arm. Don Juan, a character known for his adoration of women and disdain for societal norms, is shown here in a stylish doublet, exuding charm and charisma. Historically, Molière's plays were groundbreaking in their exploration of human nature and social satire. "Le Festin de Pierre" premiered in Paris in 1665, and its witty dialogue and biting commentary on the hypocrisies of French society resonated with audiences. The scene depicted in this photograph is a prime example of Molière's ability to create tension and intrigue through the actions of his characters. As Don Juan flirts with the two girls, he is oblivious to the disapproval of those around him. The expression on the face of the girl in the foreground suggests that she is not entirely unsuspecting of his advances, while the other girl looks on with a mixture of surprise and amusement. The setting, with its ornate decor and elegant costumes, further emphasizes the opulence and extravagance of the time. This photograph is a fascinating glimpse into the past, offering a glimpse into the world of Molière and the characters that have captivated audiences for centuries. It serves as a reminder of the enduring power of theatre to transport us to another time and place, and to explore the complexities of human nature through the medium of art.
