In greek mythology, women were sent to the world as form of punishment for what an immortal had done. Through history this conception of women developed strangely, creating a lot of sexism and controversy regarding this topic.
In Don Juan, the CNG High School Play adaptation of Moliere's original play, this topic was boarded. It was demonstrated through comedy but there were clear innuendos about how sexism lives strongly in our society. It started with a song that talked about women's power and ended with "this is a man's world."
Ethics played a big part in it too, since it questioned who determines good or bad and if we go to hell or not because of the way we choose to live. In this case, Don Juan is sent to hell and eaten by zombies, which means that it is talking a Catholic point of view. Through irony it was trying to depict the fact that it is not okay for men to predominate since it is not a fact that they are better than women. Also, it is not okay for this world to be a man's one but we have to face the fact that it is.
The good thing, though, is it was funny. So everyone could at least understand that part.
