Dans ce podcast, je vous explique deux expressions bien connues des français :
Tu es un Harpagon !
Tu es un Dom Juan.
Ces expressions sont des antonomases. Une antonomase, c'est une figure de style qui consiste à donner un sens à un nom propre, et ainsi en faire un nom commun.

Vous pouvez regarder ces deux pièces de théâtre de Molière dans les liens suivants :
