off in the 17th Canto.However,we can know the end of the poem from Byrons letters,that is,Don Juan participates in the French Revolution and die fighting against the old regime.,Byron set a tragedy ending.But what a pity,we still never see his excellent lyrics.Some people try to perfect it with their ending.But its not good enough without the author himself.Maybe imperfection itself is perfect,like Byron,his lameness didnt cover his intelligence.,Structure,：,It has 16,000 lines in 16 cantos.,Each stanza contains 8,-,line iambic pentameter,8-line stanza（八行体）:also named ottava rima

unknown excuse.His motherland is Britain.However he cant return and can only travel in foreign lands.Don Juan is a Spanish aristocrat.Because of the war between Britain and Spain,Spain was a defeated country.He hates Britain from the bottom of his heart.,In Don Juans eyes:“Britain has ever promised to bring freedom to the whole human beings,however now they are all in chains,not only in body,but also in soul.They even invade the North America and India.”,Comments from the Great,Pushkin had ever said“its diversity is as well as Shakespeares”.,Goethe described Don Juan as“the work of an
