Introduction

Aims and Objectives: George Gordon Byron (1788-1824) is the greatest figure in European literature of the early 19th century. His work is vast and multifaceted. It reflects the ideas of the Enlightenment, which predetermined in many ways the tyrannical pathos of Byron's poetry and his famous satire. At the same time, Byron acts as an innovator, the greatest poet of Romanticism. He develops the brightest themes and images of romantic literature. The very personality of Byron was symbolic for his time. But he did not stay within the framework of the romantic direction, he was constantly looking for ways to a more voluminous and deeper assimilation of reality.

Such summit work of Byron was his poem "Don Juan". In this course work, we will turn to this poem, which revealed the characteristic facets of Byron's mature work.

The poem was unfinished, but even in this form it gives an opportunity to feel a new quality of Byron's artistic vision - his movement towards the synthesis of romantics with a new realistic movement. The artistic originality of the poem is the main subject of analysis in our work. In world literature, there are stable images that personify this or that type of person, which writers from different countries, different eras, different views in their own way recreate in their works. One of them is Don Juan. He was called Don Juan, or Don Juan, or, in Italy, Don Giovanni, but in any case, this name is invariably associated with the rake knight, a daring violator of moral and religious norms, ready to do anything to win new and new women's hearts.The semi-legendary Seville nobleman don Juan de Tenorio, who lived in the 14th century, is considered the prototype of Don Juan. The close associate of King Pedro the Cruel (1350-1369), who enjoyed his patronage, don Juan terrified the whole of Seville with his love affairs. In a duel, he killed Commander Don Gonzago, who defended the honor of his daughter, but soon disappeared under mysterious circumstances. It was rumored that Tenorio was killed by Franciscan monks, who then spread word of the heavenly punishment through the dead commander.

The first literary Don Juan was created by the Spanish monk Gabriel Tellets, who wrote under the pseudonym Tirso de Molina, in the play "The Mischievous Man of Seville, or The Stone Guest" (published in Barcelona in 1630). From Spain, the plot moved to France, where Moliere staged his comedy Don Juan, or the Stone Guest in 1665. Then in 1736 in Italy Carlo Goldoni wrote the drama Don Giovanni Tenorio, or The Libertine. In the romantic era at the turn of the 18th-19th centuries, Don Juan became the most popular hero around the world. It was then that such famous works as the novel by E.T.A. Hoffmann's "Don Juan" (1812), the poem by G. Byron "Don Juan" (1817-1824), the tragedy of A.S. Pushkin's "The Stone Guest" (1830), short stories by O. Balzac "Elixir of Longevity" (1830) and P. Merimee's "Souls of Purgatory" (1834).

In the XX century, interest in him does not subside: the plays of J. B. Shaw "Man and Superman: a Philosophical Comedy" (1903), A. Blok's "Steps of the Commander" (1910-1912), N. Gumilyov's "Don Juan in Egypt" ( 1912), B. Brecht "Don Juan" (1954), J. Anouil "Ornifl" (1955), the Swiss writer Max Frisch "Don Juan, or Love for Geometry", the novel by the Spaniard G. Torrente Ballestra "Don Juan", poems A. Blok, M. Tsvetaeva and many others. The 1997 bibliographic index recorded over a thousand works of fiction about Don Juan in six major European languages ​​and 1708 critical works about him.
