George Gordon Byron (1788. 1.22. -1824.4.19), a short and long life, a flawed but innocent soul, a giant with a damaged personality and spirit but still noble. I really want to sing a song for Byron, for he satirizes the real society with enthusiasm and acrimony, for a talented poet who writes like a book in the turbulent romantic literary world and is unique in ancient and modern times, and for a strong fighter who wears military uniforms and fights for democracy and freedom on the political stage of national liberation. However, any language is so pale and powerless to him.
? Byron was born in an old and declining aristocratic family in London, England. He came into this world with embarrassment, loneliness, poverty and poverty. My father is violent and rude, likes drinking and gambling, and owes huge debts. He is called "Crazy Jack". In order to satisfy his drinking life, he married a poor-looking Scottish aristocratic girl, Kathryn Gordon, who owned 23,000 pounds. Soon after they got married, Crazy Jack's gambling, drinking and wandering life soon squandered the property of the Gordon family. The couple sold their land and property and moved to France, and their life became poorer every day. 1787 In the summer, Mrs. Byron returned to London alone because she missed her hometown, while her husband continued to wander in France to avoid debts. When Byron was three years old, his father finally died in the poverty of "no shirt, no penny, and the only dress was riddled with holes", which is said to be suicide.
? Her husband's death was a heavy blow to his wife. Coupled with growing economic difficulties and her own misfortune, Byron's mother's character became very irritable and moody. Byron, a beautiful boy, is lame. Some people say that he was born, others say that he was beaten by his mother. Lame made Byron feel inferior and miserable. To this end, he also ate up ridicule and bullying. In this way, his character gradually became sensitive, melancholy and sad, learned to endure silently and get angry silently, and finally formed his character of loneliness, stubbornness, depression, indifference and daring to fight in the future. It can also be said that the arrogant and lonely image of the protagonist in Byron's future poems and the cynical and rebellious spirit are all internally related to his childhood family life.
? The clever Byron likes reading. Besides studying at school, his mother also hired a tutor for him. He likes reading all kinds of books, especially history books. He often begged his mother to borrow historical story books about Rome, Greece and Turkey from the public library. The brilliant military achievements of the ancients have repeatedly aroused Byron's inner heroic dream. He once said to his friends, "One day I will assemble an army. The soldiers will wear black clothes and ride red horses. They will be called Byron's black cavalry. You are sure to hear our amazing miracle. " Byron would never have thought that thirty years later, this miracle really appeared, and he really became the commander-in-chief of a Greek Coalition. Helmet, sword and black cloak accompanied him to the end of his life.
? 1803 summer vacation, 15-year-old Byron fell in love. He fell in love with his neighbor, a beautiful and pure miss Mary Ann Chavez, and said, "Do you think I will like that cripple?" Like a thunder in the clear sky, Byron's heart was shattered, and sadness, anger and disappointment rushed into Byron's heart like a storm. The trauma of his first love led him to have a bad impression on women and a cynical attitude towards life, and he began to ridicule all love.
? Byron is recognized as a smart student and a lazy student at Harrow College in England. He likes writing poems and giving speeches.
? Byron spent his life lavishly, but he also gave generously. Byron graduated from Cambridge University with a master's degree. The following year, Byron, an adult, obtained the position of hereditary member of the noble house of lords.
? 18 12 years, Byron did two earth-shattering things. One is the publication of Childe Harold's Travels, which shocked the British literary world at that time. The other is that he made two famous parliamentary speeches and political satire "Ode to the Maker of the Suppression and Destruction of Machinery Act" in the British Parliament, which caused a sensation in British politics. It also attracted vicious attacks from the upper class in London.
? Byron was a great rebel and a tragic rebel all his life!
? 1813-1816, Byron published a series of long poems called "oriental narrative poems". Such as The Pagan, The Bride of Abidus, Pirates, Laila, The Surrounding of Corinth and barris Na. In these long poems full of exotic customs and romantic dreams, Byron created a series of famous "Byronic heroes" in the history of literature. These Byronic heroes are arrogant, lonely and rebellious rebels of the existing system.
? To this end, Byron attracted some despicable abuse, which made his reputation boil. In a melancholy place, Byron thought of getting married and chose annabella, the niece of the noble Melbourne lady, a woman who loves mathematics, has the ability of rational analysis and judges other people's behavior habits. This is a loveless marriage. Shortly after the birth of their daughter Augusta Ada Byron, they separated and divorced after only one year and three months of marriage.
? After the divorce, Byron became more lonely. Divorce became an excuse for the upper class, represented by nobility and bourgeoisie, to attack Byron again. Byron fell into unspeakable anger and pain. His property was confiscated, his house was occupied and their reputation was defamed. Various persecutions forced Byron to leave England.
? 18 16.4 Byron first arrived in Geneva, Switzerland, where he met Shelley, an English romantic poet who was also exiled. * * * The same ideal and pursuit soon made them inseparable. ?
? 18 17, Byron moved to Italy and lived in Venice, Lavaine, Pisa and Genoa for six years. As soon as he arrived in Italy, Byron paid close attention to, approached and even participated in the revolutionary activities of charcoal burners with great enthusiasm.
? 18 19 In September, Byron began to conceive and write the long poem Don Juan. By 1820 1 month, the first and second chapters had been completed, which was an immortal work and reached the highest level of Byron's creation. At this moment, Byron began his love life again, which is a love life with political inclination and revolutionary color.
? Italy's charcoal-burning revolutionary movement failed, and the revolutionary bonfire spread to the whole Greek peninsula. Since then, Byron has really devoted himself to the revolutionary struggle between blood and fire with practical actions. In order to support the national liberation movement of the Greek people, Byron sold his manor and took out all the savings donations.
? Byron fought bravely. As the commander-in-chief of the Greek Independent Army, he often appeared in the most dangerous places. Taking the lead, he was deeply loved by Greek soldiers. In the meantime, Byron became ill because of overwork. 1824.4.9. Shortly after Byron recovered from his illness, he always rode out in the storm. As a result, due to the cold, he caught cold and heat in the swamp.
? Expanded to 4. 18. Byron didn't know it and left his last words: "Unfortunate people! My property, my health; Now, add my life! Greece, Greece, what else can I do? "
