Dom Juan Proposed Edits

For beginning

In addition to changing the style in which the play was written, Corneille had also changed certain aspects of the character of Dom Juan as well as the overall message; Dom Juan's philandering was enhanced and his story was pronounced to be more of a cautionary tale of what happened to those who weren't religious.

For Synopsis section:

- Dom Juan is presented as a character with many different facets to his personality that are exposed in the five acts of the play. In act 1, he is revealed to be an adulterer and in act 2, the extent of his womanizing ways is displayed. In act 3, he is presented as more altruistic and nonconformist, which contrasts with act 4, in which his problems with money and paternal disrespect are outed. Finally, in act 5, he undergoes what is revealed to be a fake rebirth into a religious man.
