Final Jeopardy Explanation – Thursday, July 20 2023
The epic poem “Don Juan” by Lord Byron is a notable piece of satirical literature. It centers on the notorious character of Don Juan, traditionally known for his multiple illicit affairs. However, in Byron’s version, Don Juan is depicted as an innocent easily swayed by women. Byron once humorously expressed his uncertainty about the character’s destiny, saying he was unsure whether he wanted Don Juan to “end in hell – or in an unhappy marriage.”
The verse form, known as ottava rima, adds to the poem’s humor and allows for sharp social commentary. “Don Juan,” despite being left unfinished due to Byron’s death in 1824, is regarded as his magnum opus.
The poem’s open-ended structure, reflecting the ambiguity of Don Juan’s fate, gave Byron the freedom to provide broad commentary on the society of his time.
