Lord Byron Lord Byron is mainly known for being the heir of Rochdale, England, but the people who know him for his poetry, may not know how he became the poet that they know and appreciate. Lord Byron was once known as George Gordon, which one would not look at twice. Many may know him for his place on the throne in Rochdale, and some may know him for his poetry but many do not know the true life of the Nobleman. In London, England during the year 1800 was the peak of the Romantic period of poetry, from Lord Byron to Edgar Allan Poe. The time was a time of strife, one may believe, all over the world. From London to Boston, Massachusetts these poets came up in many different places with different backgrounds, Many poets even had completely …show more content…

This poem is about a woman that is so beautiful that he can’t not love her. The true theme that lies in it is that her love is truly innocent and amazing. Byron never had that innocent love, he always had something more. I believe that he longed for this type of love, and that was his inspiration. The style of this certain poem is a very romantic style and it stays very true to his time period. A very big part of this poem is the repeated AB, CD, EF pattern. The other element that is huge in this poem is the language used like o’er. All of the parts of this poem fit together very well in the way that the poem is made. Another of Byron's poems that is very influential to me is “And Thou art Dead, as Young and Fair”. I have thought deeply about this poem and it seems to have the same meaning as Edgar Allan Poe's “Annabelle Lee”. It is about a young love and the breaking of that love by death. Byron in this poem talks about how the woman was fair and young and that he would do anything to hold her again, It has a sweet meaning and it carries a dark theme but in a light way and holds on to that feeling of warmth. He holds on to his love in this poem. Even though it seems like a true love scenario i think this is showing the death of feeling he has for a woman or this poem talks about his

Another portion of the text that is worth analyzing is whether or not the poet is a real person or a generalization about all or most poets. All of the lines in the poem use general text and never label a specific person. What’s interesting about the text is that without the title it would be nearly impossible to distinguish whether or not the person the poem is about is a poet or not. The way the text allows the reader to find a figurative meaning to the poem is by being vague enough and

Lord Byron in this work describes the beauty of women by comparing her external and internal features to unordinary objects. For that matter he uses metaphors, simile and personification. Lines 9 is great example of poet’s usage of metaphors: “Which waves in every raven tress”. The historical research of the time when the poem was written showed that back in those days the beauty standards were different, this is what Lord Byron portrait as a beautiful in his poem. Blond hair and pail skin was defined as beautiful, though the poet said compare women’s hair to a raven tress which is more of a dark colour, he states that this is what makes her face lighter,

When she returns from her stay her “manners were much improved,” and “instead of a wild, hatless little savage jumping into the house…there lighted from a handsome black pony a very dignified person, with brown ringlets falling from the cover of a feathered beaver, and a long cloth habit which she was obliged to hold up with both hands that she might sail in” (46). Catherine was tempted by the way of life the Linton’s lived and, to fit in, has concealed her wild and rebellious nature.
