Come Together...

To be honest I'm not sure what urged me to look this up on wikipedia. Perhaps it was because I've heard so many references, but never really knew much about the story. Why it suddenly popped into my head now I'm not quite sure. Anyway come to think of I can't think of why I never wondered about the origin of the story of Don Juan before. The part of the story about him being a womanizer I already knew it's the rest that I didn't. Anyway according to the article in the original story Don Juan rapes a woman, and then kills her father. He sees a statue of the man in the cemetary and invites him home to dinner. I just have one question for this man why would invite a statue of man that you killed home for dinner. It just proves what I've always thought, men who spread "their seed" aren't particularily smart. Anyway while at his house the statue asks to shake his hand. And yet again this man proves his stupity and does what the man asks. The statue drags him to hell where the devil says everyone plays a role and that he would make an excellent fool. Don Juan laughs and says that no one plays his equal he's had thousands of conquests. Yeah, there's no man that can be equally as big a whore as you. There's nothing to be proud of being a whore. Anyway the devil tells him that if he can name one woman's name he won't have to wear the jester suit. A parade of women passes him and he can't remember a single name. The devil brings in front of him the one woman that trully loved him and he couldn't remember the name and just says give me the suit. The article does go into the writings with the character in it. But to be honest I was just curious about the story about the actual character, and I'm being lazy today.
