Don giovanni at first does not want to fight don pedro. Don ottavio consoles donna anna, and she wants him to avenge the crime of the death of her father. Leporella tells don elvira how don giovanni is a scoundrel by showing a list of all the women he has taken advantage of. Leporella both resents don giovanni and wants to be him. Both leporella and zerlina are victims to their society"s obsession with classes.
