Term Papers on Byrons Don Juan
Byron's Don Juan One writer who has not recieved nearly enough credit for his works is George Gordon, who later became known as Lord Byron. This is the man who wrote his own poetical version of Don Juan. Don Juan is a man who is known for being able to arouse the desires of women and to love every one he meets. This Don Juan can be viewed, however, as a loosely disguised biography of Byron. Lord Byron's father, Captain John, has ancestors that go back as far as the Buruns in the time of William the Conqueror. Back in this time it was very common for people to marry their own cousins. Captain John was married three times and was considered to be very smooth with the ladies. Byron was born on January 22, 1788 in London, and the following year he and his mother moved to Aberdeen, Scotland.

He soon had another affair with a woman named Mary Gray. Soon hereafter he was involved with many liaisons with such women as Lady Caroline Lamb and then Lady Oxford. Then just as Byron was beginning to live his life the way he had always wanted to, his mother dies in 1811. The following year he became immensely fashionable and notorious. By 1813 he had began another affair with his half-sister Augusta. Continuing his search for the woman of his dreams, he marrys Anabella Milbanke in 1815 and has a daughter the same year. The next year Lady Byron leaves him to visit her parents and never returns. Separation papers are signed and he begins another liaison with Claire Clairmont. The following year(1817), they have a baby named Allegra. Not too long after this he falls in love with yet another woman, named Marian... This is ONLY a preview of the article.
