Adaptations

Lothario is also a character in the play The Fair Penitent (1703), by Nicholas Rowe. In the play, Lothario seduces and betrays Calista.

An allusion is made to Lothario in William Faulkner's Absalom, Absalom! when referring to Charles Bon, the proclaimed ladies-man and woman-seducer who is about to marry a woman while already being married.

In the opera "Mignon" by Ambroise Thomas, Lothario is the elderly father of the heroine and in no way a seducer.
