The concept that we use it in the English speaking world today comes from a play called The Fair Penitent from 17, well, 1632. That person probably stole it from Don Quixote. But they made Lothario more of a libertine. He's a less likable character and his seducing is not as driven by stupid, let me test my wife nonsense. It's more of a seducing. I'm a friend. Yeah, but that's where it comes from.
Enjoy another episode of our newest show-within-a-show! We're reading Edith Grossman's translation of Don Quixote by Miguel de Cervantes a few chapters at a time. Some Patreon supporters get these episodes monthly, but every two months we'll combine them for general consumption.
These episodes cover Chapters 28-42.
In Episode 5, Don Quixote rejoins the party. and everyone decides to shack up in the only inn/castle in all of Spain. Secondary characters step into the spotlight with their own stories, including a novel-within-a-novel called The Man Who Was Recklessly Curious.
In Episode 6, Don Quixote takes the backseat for a few more chapters. We have to close the book on Cardenio's Crew, finish the story of the Two Friends, and meet a few more ancillary characters who just love this inn.
