Don Juan
Don Juan is the name of a character created by Spanish playwright, Tirso de Molina[1], in his 1630 play El burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra ("The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest"), and the name of the character has become common metaphor for a "womanizer".
There have been numerous works written and produced about the character and tapping into the notion of the "Don Juan" in society, a number bearing the title Don Juan.
