Brustein goes further, presenting the Don as not merely a sex-obsessed boudoir-supremacist womanizing his way to damnation, but as a supranatural embodiment of alienated man, offered up as an atoning sacrifice. This quasi-religious element is pointed up by a Prologue-Epilogue that frames Moliere's play-a blackish Mass wherein sinister, cowled figures sacrifice a goat. The animal's corpse...
