George Gordon Byron

                                                        (22.01.1788-19.04.1824)

Byron’s life was remarkable, because at the age of 10 he already inherited the title of Lord and the family castle near Nottingham. It was very unusual for such an early age. But his life was despicable. He lost his childhood at the early age. He was unsuccessful in his personal life. He fought for equality of rights (he delivered his famous speech in 1812.                 

It was in defense of the Luddites-weavers, who started the first movement of the working class against their mill-owners.

Byron was a responsible man. For example, at the age of 10 he became the owner of the family castle. His life was difficult and troubling, because he did not want to leave his Motherland. He liked his country. George was fair. He was against the inhuman treatment of the working class by the ruling classes.

Byron married Anne Isabella Milbanke. She wasn’t a bad woman, but she wasn’t a good mother. She neither looked nor spoke like a gentle woman.

George was successful in his life,

 An older person or mentor is often very important in shaping the lives of gifted people by providing guidance and encouragement. “It was with me too, for example, my grandmother gave me many pieces of advice. And it is of use to me.” George was an aristocrat, but he didn’t follow the aristocratic way: he protected Luddites; he made a speech in defense of the Nottingham weavers.                                             

There are many thoughts in the world about heroes. But we think that being a hero is very hard, because you should be a responsible person. All people connect their hopes with you.  

We are not heroines because there haven’t been any cases to prove it.
