Produced by Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart in 1787, Don Giovanni is regarded as one the best operas ever made. The piece is based on the legend of Don Juan, an illusory libertine and seducer of women (Kerns, 2010). At first, Mozart’s opera seems more like a story of the romantic adventures of a dissolute nobleman and his disgrace.

If asked to perform a task or to accept a belief as the truth despite the asker’s justification contradicting the obvious, most people would laugh at the foolishness of such a request. After all, how can one be expected to wholeheartedly believe an argument when all evidence is pointing the other way? When told that a brown, oval-shaped object with white lace is a basketball, would one blindly submit to this new definition of a football without demanding evidence for the person’s claim? A similar

There was a man of greatness, a figure of admiration and respect to the entire neighborhood. He referred to himself as, Don Giovanni, a man among men… and to him men were the superior lot. People flocked to him; men, women, children, seeking his presence and a mere gesture of attention. His was a life to envy. The “Don’s” appearance was as powerful as his presence. Hair as dark as night and naturally groomed with minimal effort, He swaggered through the streets radiating confidence. Step by step

strive towards creating Iconic buildings as a way to gain fame. How does one design an Iconic building and what does it imply when placed within a particular context? We will explore this through a particular architectural project of the church of San Giovanni Battista under Florence, an icon which never really succeeded in achieving its purpose and yet contains some of the very fundamental and curcial ideas about the Iconic which I want to express in this essay.

Don Juan is a masterful manipulator of men and women. Although Don Juan is a comedy, it is grounded in realistic dramatic also relational scenarios that happen today.

He spent the majority of life on writing Don Juan up until his death, leaving the story unfinished (Green). Nonetheless The story Don Juan written in the 1600’s by Moliere remains a comical controversial drama

Don Juan’s valet, Sgnarelle had a more than enough gossip to share with another mistress’s valet for whom his master, Don Juan, had “promised” to marry in the passage. The fact of the matter is Sgnarelle holds no reservations in his hyperbolic assessment of Don Juan’s moral character and his values in promising himself to anything or anyone if it means a return of personal pleasure, going as far to say that his master would marry the valet, a cat, or dog if he so desired it.
