The sexual attention of his nurse, when he was only nine years old, made a permanent impression on his. His wife was prim, spoilt, mathematical and wealthy. His scandalous relationship with his half sister, his marriage with and separation from Anna Isabella Milbanke, are significant incidents in his life. The hero does not hesitate even to establish a physical relationship with an almost mother-like woman, named Julia.īyron's personal experience of life is not a happy one. Here the hero seduces women and makes advances indiscriminately. We can see a different type of love in Don Juan.
Shaw tells in his play Arms and the Man that marriage is not the combination of high-flown desires and romantic passion, but a contract which is a means of bringing into being a better generation. Byron's view of love is not in keeping with that of George Bernard Shaw who castigates the romantic notion of love. Plato always gives emphasis on the spiritual love where there is little emphasis on physical contact.
Unlike Plato, Byron does not give emphasis on the spiritual love. He found that with them he could unburden his troubles. He needed the support and the society of women he liked to be admired and petted and comforted by them. Byron has established his own ideas of love and marriage widely and comprehensively in Don Juan, the long narrative poem.
