I believe that Don Juan was a person very romatic, with the girls, jejejeje, or perhaps he was a person conqueror.
Anyway, he was DON JUAN, and so, he called.

If you're a Don Juan, you're considered to be a womanizer.

A womanizer (un mujeriego, un jugador) is a man who flirts with all the ladies.
Un mujeriego es un hombre dado a mujeres. A veces, es un «Don Juan», un marinero con una mujer en cada puerto. Last edited by Rusty; June 25, 2008 at 08:24 AM. |

"Don JUan" is, like Rusty says, a womanizer.

And Don Juan has also permeated the Anglo-Saxon tradition. As you can read in Sosía's article, Lord Byron wrote a long poem based on the Spanish legend and also called Don Juan.
I want a hero: an uncommon want, When every year and month sends forth a new one, Till, after cloying the gazettes with cant, The age discovers he is not the true one; Of such as these I should not care to vaunt, I'll therefore take our ancient friend Don Juan -- We all have seen him, in the pantomime, Sent to the devil somewhat ere his time.

The Anglo-Saxon, the French, the Italian the German... (Lord Byron, Moliere, Goethe, Mozart, Wagner). Maybe there are only three Spanish myths that have permeated other cultures and have become universal: Don Quijote, Celestina y don Juan.
Don Juan is a womaniser, but in a very different way of Casanova, who really enjoys being with a woman. Don Juan never enjoys love. His conquests are the result of a bet. He's said to be homosexual and permanently unsatisfied. He's also a gambler who kills the father of his be-loved (?) Ana Ulloa, a nun he seduces as a result of one of his bets. The original play was written by Tirso de Molina in the seventeenth century, and revisioned by José Zorrilla in the nineteenth century. Zorrillas's version is played all over Spain in the Day of All Saints.
