Reflection on Don Juan 1
His inner contradiction, although he killed many Turks fiercely, saved a 10-year-old Turkish girl from the butcher's knife of brutal Russian soldiers. At this point, I don't have to consider a problem. What kind of19th century does Byron want to show us through Don Juan? Don Juan, at the request of the tsar, took a Turkish girl to Britain to negotiate. Don Juan originally hated Britain, saying that Britain "once gave freedom to all mankind, but now it wants them to put on shackles and even imprison people's hearts" and invaded North America, India and other places. In order to compete for maritime hegemony and dominance in Western Europe, Britain and Spain fought many wars in three or four years. Finally, Spain was defeated, lost its colonies in South America and North America, and became a small country. As a Spanish aristocrat, Don Juan naturally hates Britain. He was determined to tell the British people the truth of the reaction when he arrived in England. However, when he landed on English soil, what he saw changed his view. Everything left a good impression on him, and he thought it was a free paradise. Just when he really envied British society, suddenly a gang of robbers stopped him and forced him to stay and buy money for the road. He took a pistol out of his pocket and killed 1 gangster. The other four ran away with their tails between their legs. From then on, he changed his mind and felt that there were no honest people on the streets of London, and the most magnificent hotel was just a comfortable nest for swindlers in the diplomatic community.
After being introduced to the king of England, he found that ministers are completely "animals without the slightest smell of human beings", parliament is a specialized tax collection agency, the chaebol are the real masters of Britain and European countries, and the Kingdom of Great Britain is just "a super zoo". Don Juan was accepted by the British upper class and went in and out of West End of London where the nobles and the rich lived every day. He said that this area is the most sinful place in Britain, and people here "regard love as half glory and half career". His behavior is just the opposite of his understanding. He hooked up with many aristocratic women here and had a good time. Seeing this, I think I have found the answer. All the narration paved the way for Byron to satirize the aristocratic society and politics in Britain and Europe. Scene after scene in the poem appeared before my eyes. Although the plot took place at the end of 18, it depicts the real life of European society from the end of 18 to the beginning of 19.
Byron compared the past revolutionary experience with the reality at that time, lashed the reactionary forces in holy alliance and Europe, and called on the people to fight for freedom and overthrow the tyrant. Poetry exposes and satirizes the money worship of the British nobility and bourgeoisie. The British ruling class boasted about "freedom" and "rights", but when Don Juan first came to London, he was attacked by robbers. The poem denounces Sir Casterly, a British aristocrat, as a "villain" and a "slave maker", and condemns Wellington, who was praised by the ruling class at that time, as a "first-class executioner". British upper class is gorgeous in appearance, but extremely decadent and ugly in heart. After reading it, I was lost in thought. Why did Byron go to so much trouble to satirize the English nobility? After finding Byron's life background, I think I understand a little.
Byron1788 65438+/kloc-0 was born in London on October 22nd, and his parents came from a declining aristocratic family. When I was a student, I was deeply influenced by the Enlightenment. 1809-1811years, he traveled to Spain, Greece, Turkey and other countries, and was encouraged by the anti-aggression and anti-oppression struggles of people of all countries. Byron was not only a great poet, but also a fighter who struggled for his ideals all his life. He actively and bravely joined the revolution, participated in the Greek national liberation movement and became one of the leaders. 1811-1816, Byron has been living in a constant emotional vortex. In his popular social life, there is a lot of love to take part in accidental amusement, and the affair of a young aristocratic poet is naturally more talked about. Byron proposed to an Anna milbank on 18 13 and married her on 18 15 1. This is the biggest mistake Byron made in his life. Mrs. Byron is a narrow-minded person, deeply bound by the hypocrisy of her own class, and can't understand Byron's career and views at all. One year after his marriage, he returned home with his daughter, who had just been born for more than a month, and refused to live with Byron, thus causing rumors. The British ruling class took this opportunity to take the craziest revenge on its traitor Byron in an attempt to destroy the poet who dared to be his enemy.
Later, Byron created a number of "Byronic heroes" in his poems. They are cold, fanatical and romantic, but full of rebellious spirit. Their hearts are full of loneliness and depression, but they despise small groups. Childe Harold is the first Byronic hero in Byron's poems. The most representative, combative and brilliant work in Byron's poetry is his long poem Don Juan, which describes the romantic stories of Don Juan, the son of Spanish aristocrats, such as travel, love and adventure, exposes the dark, ugly and hypocritical side of society and plays the battle song for freedom, happiness and liberation. Perhaps, "Don Juan" has a little shadow of Byron, whether it is his attitude towards women or his satire on British aristocrats. Through "Don Juan" and a series of Byronic heroes he wrote, Byron penetrated into the European society from the end of18th century to the beginning of19th century to let the world know the facts.
Random thoughts on Don Juan 2
Don Juan is a poetic novel by Byron, a great English romantic poet in the early19th century. Through the life experiences of Don Juan, the hero, in Spain, Greece, Turkey, Russia, Britain and other different countries, the real life in Europe at the beginning of the19th century is displayed, and the "holy alliance" and the reactionary forces in Europe are satirized.
Don Juan is undoubtedly a satirical poetic novel. He was born with good skin. The prototype of this character comes from a legendary figure in Spain, and he has been the theme of literary works many times. The traditional image of Don Juan is a playboy who likes to play with women and has no moral concept. He just wants to conquer women with his male charm and have sex with all kinds of women. "One-night stand" is a common occurrence for him. He enjoys the process, and love means nothing to him. He only pursues pleasure, the pleasure of conquest.
However, Byron's Don Juan is a seduced character in most cases. He was forced to run away for the first time, more or less thanks to her mother's good friend, and became a victim of this noble woman. Don Juan is different from the protagonists in Byron's other works. The author raised his image intentionally or unintentionally, making him a Byronic hero. For example, in the sea, when everyone was panicked and almost desperate, Don Juan saved everyone with his cool wit; But when faced with the danger of starvation, he would rather jump into the sea than eat people for his own survival. He told us his moral creed by action: enthusiasm, courage and rejection of hypocrisy.
He also dares to love and hate. He fell in love with Heidi, the pirate's daughter, regardless of secular vision, which may be Don Juan's most sincere love. He and Heidi two of a kind, but God didn't want to take care of this young man. Their love was strongly opposed by Heidi's pirate father, and eventually they were separated and sold to Constantinople, a big city in Turkey, which was a great blow to the young man.
Later, because of his appearance, he was bought and sent to the Sultan Palace in disguise for a queen to enjoy.
Don Juan couldn't stay in the harem any longer, so he managed to escape there and came to the Russian army.
In the army, he is also very contradictory. He knew that both sides of the war were bad, but he still fought for honor and made great contributions, which attracted the attention of Russian commander suvorov. However, these honors can't alleviate his inner contradictions. Although he killed many Turks fiercely, he saved a 10-year-old Turkish girl from the butcher's knife of brutal Russian soldiers.
At this point, I don't consider a question. What kind of19th century does Byron want to show us through Don Juan?

Don Juan is Byron's masterpiece and the masterpiece of European romantic literature. This poetic novel with the theme of social satire is about 16000 lines * * * 16 chapters.

Don Juan, the protagonist in Don Juan, originated from the characters in Spanish legends and has become the theme of literary works many times. The traditional image of Don Juan is a playboy who plays with women and has no moral concept. But in Byron's works, this character appears as a seduced character in most cases. He was forced to leave because he was more or less a victim of that married woman. Don Juan is different from the protagonists in Byron's other poems. The author has no intention to portray him as a "Byronic hero", but there are many autobiographical elements in it. Don Juan's moral creed of enthusiasm, courage and rejection of hypocrisy. Faced with the danger of starvation, he refused to eat the murdered man, which was symbolic. Among these soldiers, only he really cares about the fate of a little girl in Turkey. He has no melancholy and desperate nature, but he also has no ability to control his own destiny. Most of his love stories satirize the hypocrisy and morality of the upper class, and his experience with the pirate daughter Hyde more embodies a poetic ideal.
If the protagonist Don Juan seems to act more than think because of the need of irony, then the narrator of this poem bears the heavy responsibility of thinking and commenting. The arguments, feelings, memories and longings that constantly appear in or outside the story have narrowed the distance between the works and the readers. The narrator has many lyrical comments, full of philosophy and profound thoughts, as well as incisive ridicule, which has a strong artistic appeal. The works not only reveal the truth and profundity of reality, but also enrich the imagination. It describes a wonderful scene of storms, shipwrecks and wars. The lyrical description of the magnificent scenery of nature is excellent. Byron is good at writing poems in various styles and practicing humorous language. No one can match him in writing poems in spoken language.
Byron's poems had great influence at that time and later generations. In China, Lu Xun called Byron the "originator" of romanticism, and praised his poems as "like raging waves and winds, listing all the bad habits of camouflage, understanding and cleaning up".
Reflection on Don Juan 4
First of all, I think the "Don Juan" I expect has a great way out. However, through reading, thinking and consulting materials, I have learned more about Don Juan. Besides, I know something about Byron and his relationship with Southey, Wordsworth and Coleridge.
I think in Don Juan, the part about Queen Catherine's mission to Britain accounts for most of the poem. And the poet Byron's comments are gradually increasing, which seems a bit boring. Moreover, the treatment of Don Juan's ending in the whole poem seems very vague.
Byron, the poet, is not so much writing Don Juan, but rather completing a "needle-piercing figure" in the poet's mind through this legendary figure in Spanish history. Because it is through the description of Don Juan's legendary experience-romance, adventure, war, mission, etc. , thus achieving a comprehensive attack on the entire European social environment at that time. Spain, Greece, Turkey, Russia and Britain.
Countries visited by Don Juan:
1) Spain: Don Juan is another "celebrity" in Spain after Don Quixote.
It can be associated with the plot in Goethe's Young Werther.
2) Sheila: Pirate Island seems to be a paradise of pure love.
Don Juan's description of the shipwreck at sea is really a wonderful shipwreck movie, especially for people to be there. In addition, when Don Juan was left alive and finally fainted on the shore of the island, it can remind me of Defoe's Robinson Crusoe. But the difference is that Don Juan turned around here and was saved by the beautiful Hyde.
3) Turkey: the display of unique oriental customs. Here, I take pains to describe the luxurious pictures of the Turkish upper ruling class, which reminds me of Wilde's equally tireless description in Dorian gray. I think these not only serve the poet's criticism, but also have the oriental complex in the eyes of Europeans at that time.
4) Russia: Before going to Russia to meet the Queen, there was a war. The poet used a lot of space to outline the scene of the war, which was very wonderful. When I watch it, I keep seeing the scenes of the European battlefield in the movie. Then I went to Russia and met Catherine the Great, the famous Queen Catherine in world history. The first time I knew this name was when I was reading Zweig's biographical novel Cleopatra. I always outlined her with a cold Lai Su, and I got a new understanding here.
5) England: I think this is the country where poets wrote important works, because Byron was the pioneer of positive romanticism in England. In his poems, it is easy to see his abuse of Southey, Wordsworth and Coleridge, the representatives of negative romanticism (I don't think it is too much to use abuse). It seems that the situation is the same as that of Guo Moruo's creation party's abuse of Xu Zhimo's crescent school in our modern writers, right? The portrayal and lashing of the British upper class at that time has reached the extreme, but I still think that these are all displayed through the poet's comments and jumping associations, rather than through the experience and understanding of the protagonist Don Juan. This is a great failure, at least I think so.
Don Juan's shortcomings:
1) A long discussion and a poem with jumping associations.
2) The language is plain. Of course, this may be related to the version translation I saw. )
3) The characterization of the characters completely adopts an external point of view and does not go deep into the characters' hearts. It creates a feeling that the character setting exists only for discussion.
