Don Giovanni
Do people similar to Kierkegaard's seducer, Johannes, actually exist in real life?
Johannes' whole life is organised around enjoyment. (a bit like the Hugh Grant character in About a Boy. ) He is obsessed with seduction, not so much the content - the meaning - but the form of the thing. He manipulates artfully, he is totally self-obsessed. Can people really be like that? Can they really view another person as merely a prop, a walk-on character in the great big Epic that is Their Life, starring Themselves?
