Question

After saving this character from a shipwreck, a fisherwoman famous for her reticence reassures him that he is “encircled by a woman’s arms.” This character’s soul is bound to that of his love interest Inés in a play traditionally performed every All-Saints Day; that play by José Zorrilla (10[1])gives this character the surname “Tenorio.” The first dramatization of this figure is Tirso de Molina’s play The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest. In a version of this character’s story, Zerlina threatens his servant Leporello with a razor. In the most popular retelling of his story, this figure invites a statue of the Commendatore (“co-men-da-TOR-ay”) to dinner before being dragged to hell. For 10 points, name this legendary Spanish womanizer, whose tale inspired the libretto to a Mozart opera. ■END■

ANSWER: Don Juan [or Don Juan Tenorio; accept Don Giovanni; prompt on the Trickster of Seville] (The first line is from The Trickster of Seville and the Stone Guest.)
