Two classic plays. Tirso de Molina was the pseudonym of Fray Gabriel T�llez, considered the most important disciple of Lope de Vega. Of the approximately 300-400 plays he is said to have written, only 80 or so survive. Among those is his complex morality play, El burlador de Sevilla , which brings on stage the now universally known Don Juan. Zorrilla's Don Juan Tenorio , a play that continues to be performed today, is deemed the most effective successor to Tirso's masterpiece. Analysis and notes by Begona Alonso Monedero.

Spanish Description: El personaje de don Juan es uno de los principales mitos de la literatura espanola y universal. El Burlador del teatro barroco y El Don Juan Tenorio del romanticismo espanol siguen siendo hoy sus rostros mas famosos y genuinos. Tirso de Molina dio nombre por primera vez al personaje en El Burlador de Sevilla y convidado de piedra. La sociedad y el pensamiento religioso de la Espana del siglo XVII, epoca de la Contrarreforma, brindaron al excelente dramaturgo barroco el escenario perfecto para el origen del mito.Dos siglos despues, a mediados del XIX, Jose Zorrilla recreo la figura mitica en su Don Juan Tenorio, otorgandole el caracter del ideal romantico, que le conduciria hasta la unica mujer capaz de enamorarle, dona Ines.
