The name Don Juan is pretty famous around thousands of years. When people mention someone who is dissolute that chases every woman he saw, they say "he is such a Don Juan." The actual Don Juan was a spanish aristocrat in 15's century, and he kidnaped a girl, and then murdered the girl's father. Then, many artists put him into their works with success and high artistic value, especially Byron, Mozard and Moliere, the author of which we discussed in class.
The different works, which we have comedy, opera, and heroic, actually talk about Don Juan in interesting ways. He is debauched, but also different from others in that period of time. These authors gave him huge significance. The storys are attactive that audience couldn't stop reading it even though they don't feel good about Don Juan in person. I don't see many vivic and dramatic contents a lot comparing to Don Juan.
