Depictions of a Rake

The readings this week talk specifically about seduction and track the creation of the rake in American print culture. In your post, please discuss and describe a rake you have observed in contemporary American texts (movies, books, magazines, songs, TV shows, etc.) and/or in your life. How are these male figures different, or similar to, the seducers depicted in the late eighteenth-century magazine pieces? How has the persona evolved?

Your post is Monday, October 13 by 5pm and the responses to your peers due by Tuesday at 2pm.
