Document Summary
Moli re work ; mozart"s opera ; byron"s poem earlier versions of don juan. Scenes are separate : 1 don juan"s return. Will picture you the rest, i have no doubt; It"s defter than a painter"s brush, i swear . P. 342 don juan : i"ll say whatever comes into my mind. / i"ll improvise my tender song of love . There is a dangerous power that the creative figure has. P. 354 dona anna : don juan is eloquent i know; I"ve heard of his seductive way with words . Main points : we"re taking this historical figure set in a post-enlightenment period. Pushkin gives us the clich (through the leporello) but the figure complicates this.
