Study Note about George Gordon, Lord Byron

        In order to overthrow the rationality of enlightenment period, there are six representative outstanding poets and Byron is one of them. Although Byron’s early poem is more neoclassical he still primarily in romantic period. He wrote a lot remarkable poems such as “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimmage”, “So, we’ll go no more a roving”, and surely his unfinished masterpiece “Don Juan”. Byron used nature object to contributing his nature feeling. In “So, we’ll go no more a roving”, he develops everything in the universal will follow the step toward to death, and people should stop seeking the mankind object:

          For the sword outwears its sheath,

          And the soul wears out the breast,

          And the heart must pause to breathe,

          And love itself have rest.

In another poem, “Childe Harold’s Pilgrimage”, Bryon expresses his revolutionary thinking related to the experiment of Greek rebellion:

            “Who would be free themselves must strike the blow?

             By their right arms the conquest must be wrought?

             Will Gaul or Muscovite redress ye? no!

              True, they may lay your proud despoilers low,”

        Byron also uses lots of puns, outrageous rhymes to make every stanza verbally interesting in his masterwork “Don Juan”. This unfinished work has two characters, one is Don Juan, and another is the gossipy, world-wise narrator. Byron uses satire to describing Don Juan’s amorous and the low status of women at the time.
