| Summary | "The Son of Don Juan" by José Echegaray is a dramatic work in three acts, written in the late 19th century. This original drama explores the themes of inheritance, mental illness, and the legacy of the infamous character Don Juan through the experiences of his son, Lazarus. The thread of the narrative weaves a tale of familial ties mixed with the shadow of the father's notorious past. At the start of the play, we are introduced to an aging Don Juan, whose jovial facade begins to crack with self-reflective insights about aging and fatherhood. Surrounded by his companions, he whimsically reconciles his past as a libertine with the pride of having a son like Lazarus, whom he believes possesses great intellectual talent. Meanwhile, we see Lazarus struggle with his mental state amid the expectations and burdens that come with being the son of such a notorious figure, alongside his love for Carmen. The opening sets the stage for a complex interplay of relationships and societal expectations, suggesting deeper conflicts that will unfold as the drama progresses.
