1.5. Conclusion: 
Orientalism is an intricate term that has been interpreted from the 
myths made, in the first place, by the Europeans themselves as the 
scapegoat sacrificed to generate a civilized nation. The notion was as 
sacred as a heritage but with the advent of Lord Byron, its shackles were 
eventually broken in his writings. Indifferent to his predecessors‟ 
perspectives, he came to convey an Orient as a refuge and a melting pot 
that released his vivacious thoughts blended with his morosity to inscribe 
some 
masterpieces 
clothed 
in 
the 
robe 
of 
Turkish 
Tales.

2.1.
 
Introduction: 
The Giaour 
is the first of Lord Byron's Series of 
Turkish Tales
that 
remained enigmatic and beyond the public fathoming. This chapter 
comprises a summary of the tale, an in-depth analysis of the structure and 
the techniques of narration with an endeavor to clarify the 
inconspicuousness surrounding the frame and the context. The poem is 
marked by the use of an Oriental language; it is therefore incumbent to 
allude to Byron's source to his Oriental diction as well as examine his 
Oriental characters with an analysis of the Byronic hero.
