Commentary Supposing Books The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest

A must-read for anyone wanting to claim any affinity in medieval or Spanish literature. 'El Burlador' started so much and has influenced literature in ways that have been forgotten. I recommend the reading using supporting literary essays to help point out the important aspects as well as a brush up on the ideology and social expectations of the era it was written in. It's difficult to pick up works like this one and drop the modern mindset with which we read things, but doing so can only enhance the understanding of the work.

Crit Based On Books The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest

The first appearance of the infamous Don Juan.... I thought it was good but not great until Act 3. Don Juan's ultimate fate is really interesting and surreal.

hey what can i say that's probably not been said about this story?at the very least i learned the significance of the ter don juan from this book

This is another I have read for my Renaissance drama class. I like how Molina combined tragedy, comedy, and morality plays all in one play. He also created an archetype when he made Don Juan. Don Juan is the epitome of a man that thinks he is God's gift to women. Except Don Juan is more their curse. Don Juan also thinks he's smarter than God and will get away with all the sins that he has committed because he is young, he has plenty of time to repent, and God is forgiving. But God is able to

This is literally a telenovela with way too many characters that have similar names.

i hated this so much. i hated all the characters, i hated everything that happened. the only thing i truly enjoyed was when the ghost from a character from earlier in the play came the fuck out of nowhere and killed don juan. fuck don juan by the waytho i can see why ppl would enjoy it,,, i just didn't

Renaissance Castilian is really, really hard. But knowing the Don Juan story was worth it, because damn, that thing shows up everywhere.(Also, yay for not needing subtitles during Don Giovanni now.)UPDATE 2017: It is really enjoyable to revisit what was once a seemingly impenetrable text and find it is now a very easily digestible, cheesy morality play. Yay for learning and also dragging men to hell.

Should have read this in one of my college Spanish lit courses, but never got around to it. Found it at Half-Price Books, along with "Don Juan Tenorio" in the same volume. So, I grabbed it.
