In Byron's masterpiece 'Don Juan', how does his version of the character differ from the traditional Spanish legend?
Show answer and explanation
Correct answer: Byron's Juan is a passive figure seduced by women rather than a seducer
Byron inverted the traditional 'Don Juan' myth by making the protagonist an innocent young man who is more seduced than seducing. This shift allowed Byron to satirize the hypocrisy of European social and sexual mores.
