Explanation During Books Don Juan
Probably few subjects fitted Byron's particular talents better than Don Juan.In this rambling, exuberant, conversational poem, the travels of Don Juan are used as a vehicle for some of the most lively and acute commentaries on human societies and behaviour in the language. The manner is what Goethe called 'a cultured comic language'-a genre which he regarded as not possible in Geman and which he felt Byron managed superbly.

Byrons least--or most--Byronic poem, depending on how you understand that term. So what does Byronism mean? The gothic affectations of Childe Harold, Lara & Manfred? Melancholia split with voluptuous pleasure, the delicate with the desolate; the paradigm for the lothario in exile? Sighing in soliloquy that the annihilation of hedonism always fails to banish the morbid chill of ennui--but doing it again anyway? Half mad aristocrats, those revenants from medievalism, bedeviled by a chthonicWhat men call gallantry, and gods adulteryIs much more common where the climate's sultry. Byron's long, digressive, wildly funny, outrageously rhymed Don Juan is a wonderful satire of the epic poem, of the legend of Don Juan, and of the mores of Byron's own times. It is written throughout in octava rima, an 8-line stanza that, in English, given the paucity of rhymes, is inevitably humourous. Byron uses the structure variously, often giving us a clinching final couplet that reflects
"Man's love is of his life a thing apart, 'Tis woman's whole existence. Man may range the court, camp, church, the vessel, and the mart; sword, gown, gain, glory offer in exchange pride, fame, ambition to fill up his heart, and few there are whom these cannot estrange. Man has all these resources, we but one, to mourn alone the love which has undone." (Canto I, Stanza 194)"There still are many rainbows in your sky, but mine have vanished. All, when life is new, commence with feelings warm and
I dont know why, I have no clueHow one day this idea grew:Byron's works I've had read zeroAnd that's a shame, I'm greek-and he's our hero!I went to bookstores for his poems but in vain!Apart from letters and biographies there was no gain.It was then, when desperation was ampleWhen i saw it: Don Juan in kindle sample.Language was my fear, if I would get it rightBut what the hell I said, i ll try it!And lo: some words were old, pain in the assNot even on the dictionairy alas!Its style too I could
While this isn't complicated to read, this is one long poem. This might be my favorite out of all Byron wrote. I love the langue and how he wrote the poem. Keep in mind this is a satire on epic poems. While I didn't find this funny, it was cleaver and witty.
A rattling good tale, but only Byron could contrive rhymes such as:'She snatched it, and refused another morsel,Saying, he had gorged enough to make a horse ill.'Well, Wordsworth probably could too.Both evidently had too much time on their hands.
Byron's famous verse-novel is kind of uneven, but when he's on form it's both moving and witty. My favorite sequences are near the beginning, when the beautiful Donna Julia has fallen in love with young Juan and is having qualms of conscience. First she decides that she can no longer continue to see him, but then she reconsiders. After all, that would be selfish of her! It's just a question of keeping her feelings under control, and she could help him so much:He might be taught, by love and her
