    George Gordon Byron was a British poet and a leading figure in

    the Romantic movement. Among Byron's best-known works are


    the narrative poems Childe Harold's Pilgrimage and Don Juan.
    Childe Harold's Pilgrimage is a long narrative poem in four parts that
    describes the travels and reflections of a young man who, disillusioned with
    a life of pleasure and revelry, looks for distraction in Europe. He starts the
    journey of imitation from England and ends up in Russia. He looks at the
    values of the society, at different civilization. In a wider sense, it is an
    expression of the melancholy and disillusionment felt by a generation weary
    of the wars of the post-Revolutionary and Napoleonic eras. The title comes
    from the term childe, a medieval title for a young man who was a candidate
    for knighthood.
    The moods of Childe Harold are very diverse: self explorative moods
    (from outside to inside); sometimes he becomes melancholic, polemic.
    Byronic hero, as a complex personality
    The work provided the first example of the Byronic hero. The idea of the
    Byronic hero is one that consists of many different characteristics.
    The hero must have a rather high level of intelligence and perception as well
    as be able to easily adapt to new situations and use cunning to his own gain.
    Generally, the hero has a disrespect for any figure of authority, thus creating
    the image of the Byronic hero as an exile or an outcast. The hero also has a
    tendency to be arrogant and cynical, indulging in self-destructive behaviour
    which leads to the need to seduce women. Although his sexual attraction
    through being mysterious is rather helpful, this sexual attraction often gets
    the hero into trouble.
    Childe Harold became a vehicle for Byron's own beliefs and ideas.
    - themes: love, religion, faith, unconditional belief, artistic creation, outside
    nature vs human nature, ideals of life and beauty, dream, a world of sorrow
    and degradation, human destiny, human condition.
