초록
The purpose of this article is to investigate how Byron’s Don Juan II-IV show the subtle and complex layers of man’s freedom of will in the protagonist and other main characters such as sailors, Haidee, and Lambro under the diverse vicissitudes of their circumstances. Focusing on the shipwreck and Haidee episodes, represented through the three Cantos of Don Juan, the paper examines the multiple facets of their strong wishes in responding to the whimsical and uncontrollable ambiences. It contends that most critics have overlooked the multifaceted features of their volitions, which Byron contrives to unfold in the procedure of disclosing their pursuits of intense aspirations. A number of textual evidences indicate that the poet vigorously embodies the multiple aspects of their free choice. He features not only the vigor of human willing, but also its ironic boundaries, which the characters reveal while coping with the varied mutability and turbulence of their unanticipated surroundings.
