Cassanova

When I think of Don Juan, the name that comes into my mind is Cassanova. Cassanova was famed for being a seducer. He was a romantic fool who’s sole desires were women and adventure. However, Don Juan seems to be a radical version of Cassanova, as he not only seems to take pleasure in seducing and marrying every other girl, but he doesn’t seem to heed anyone else’s warnings. For example, when Don Juan’s valet cautions him of his way of life, he doesn’t heed it; when Don Luis cautions him, he neglects it. He becomes so arrogant that he challenges the Heavens by calling statues over for dinner and not find it perplexing when they actually show up. He sealed his fate when he used the idea of being religious and pious as a disguise to cover his true intentions. At this moment, his hubris and his arrogance were explicitly shown, and this is what led to his inevitable doom.
