Abstract

Don Juan by Max Frisch is a masterpiece, with an operatic structure after Mozart and a witty metatheatrical technique. The cross reference to opera helps to include elements of Masonic symbolism not just in the suggested set design but also in a leading character who -trying to escape from what's expected from him- seeks refuge in Geometry, which in the end will lead him into a trap. Nevertheless, a close reading would allow us to discover that the characters and their ups and downs, are but chessmen moved by Max Frisch's master hand.
