[Wonderbread166]

As you can see, I'm new to this site. I have a very irrelevent question that I may get flamed for but I'm just wondering:

Who was Don Juan? A famous seducer? The guy who opened this site?

Don juan happened to be a famous seducer..

Don Juan is a fictional character

*he made his first appearance in "El Burlador de Sevilla" in 1620

*Mozart used his story as inspiration for his "Don Giovanni" opera

*Richard Strauss used the character for one of his Symphonies

* He appears in a play called Man and Superman

* Byron wrote an epic poem called Don Juan in 1821

Don Juan is the embodiment of the anarchist seducer. Most of the stories end with Don Juan being taken to hell

oh ic...

Taken to hell? Thats not cool..

 

[So pimp its scary]

Don Juan is the embodiment of the anarchist seducer. Most of the stories end with Don Juan being taken to hell

This is actually fitting... for those of you that have read about seduction know the term 'rake' as a style of seducer.

He is the man who will step up to obtain the woman, and pursue her endlessly regardless of the things that block his progress (husbands, boyfriends, etc.). They are called 'rakes' because it refers to those lost souls that as punishment must rake the ashes in hell.

From encyclopedia.com:

Don Juan , legendary profligate. He has a counterpart in the legends of many peoples, but the Spanish version of the great libertine has become the most universal. At the height of his licentious career, Don Juan seduces the daughter of the commander of Seville and kills her father in a duel. When he later visits a statue of his victim and jeeringly invites it to a feast, the statue comes to life and drags Juan off to hell. The earliest-known dramatization of the story is El burlador de Sevilla (1630), attributed to Gabriel Téllez, who wrote under the pseudonym Tirso de Molina. Molière's Le Festin de Pierre (1665) and Mozart's opera Don Giovanni (1787) are perhaps the most famous treatments of the theme. Among the many other literary works that use the unscrupulous gallant as the hero are Byron's Don Juan, Espronceda's El estudiante de Salamanca, and Shaw's Man and Superman.

Don Juan was a fictional character based on a summary of various stories; genius.

Well.. "genius"... if you would actually look into your arguements.. you would find there is also a movie about what i described.

Note how I said, "But thats not the real Don Juan... " Hmmm... Could I have been reffering to a differant one than the one that this website is based on? Does this statement actually mean that i was talking about a completely seperate "don juan"?

YES

There is another important word in my post.. "Also".. This word is at the begining and is stating that i was ADDING ON TO WHAT PREVIOUS PEOPLE HAVE SAID This implies that i was A. Either talking about a differant Don Juan or B.... all of the above


Next time get your facts straight before you try to argue...
