Don Juan as Psychopath

The character of Don Juan is one of the great archetypes of literature. He was first created by a 17th Century Spanish Priest, Tirso de Molina.

This paper contains descriptive material about psychopaths and analysis of the character in Tirso's play El burlador de Sevilla. There are large blocks of quotations from the play in Spanish.
