Synopsis:

Caught carrying on a love affair with a married woman, Don Juan is forced leave his home in Spain. His adventures take across Europe to Greece, Russia, and Italy, where women cannot resist his good looks and charm, and Don Juan himself certainly cannot resist the advances of a woman who has fallen for him.

Lord Byron’s “Don Juan” is a satirical poem based on the legend of Don Juan, the famous libertine character known for his ability to seduce women. However, in Lord Byron’s telling, Don Juan’s womanizing is due more to his inability to refuse the advances of women than his ability to seduce them. Left unfinished upon his death in 1824, “Don Juan” is one of the widest-read poems in the English language.
