George Gordon

In reading about George Gordon Byron, his life was like today, very scandalise. The incest and affairs cost him his marriage. Then he continues his afair with Claire Clairmont. Besides his awful personal life, I was impressed on how he was able to build his own army for his political cause to aid Greece. I found it hard to stay focus on his poems, but with Don Juan, is this the same as the movie starring Johnny Depp a few years back?

Gloria,

Both Byron's poem and Depp's movie reference the same character--Don Juan--but from different angles. Both are more reactions to the idea of the irresistible ladies man than a retelling of Don Juan's life.

Very short and underdeveloped post, with no analysis of the text.
