Don Juan is one of the most famous literary libertines. But who really are libertines? 🤔

The word libertine comes from the Latin lībertīnus, a word used in early writings of Roman antiquity to refer to a formerly enslaved person. By the late 1500s, the word's meaning was extended to all freethinkers.

In 17th century France, when Molière wrote Don Juan, the term "libertine" described a free-thinking intellectual, who rejected religious orthodoxy, traditional authority, and church dogma.

Across centuries, the people the term has been applied to have ranged from those acting with no compassion or accountability, to those simply pushing restrictive boundaries in pursuit of authentic self-expression.

Where does Don Juan fall on this spectrum? Molière refuses to answer plainly, leaving it up to the audience to make their own conclusions. 🎭
