Byron (Part 6 of 10)

[@53orion]

i like him in this role...he's certainly pretty enough...

[@lexigrimhaive]

Poor Annabel. I can see how she’d be annoying, with her innocent naïveté and constant attempts to “save his soul”. But she seems to mean well, and (for some reason) cares deeply about Byron. So the way he treats her makes me feel terribly for her. She doesn’t deserve that. :-/

[@AnnaBellaChannel]

She did not understand him and as Lady Lamb said "Do you really think a woman who understands stats and has a bad figure will cope with him?"

[@loanicastillo3327]

His daughter Ada was also addicted to laudeum. It was a common drug. Lewis Caroll took it for arthritis too.

[@barbarablue2571]

5:17 Polidori was right. he was The Vampire. Byron didn´t suck his wife´s blood until her death bc he couldn´t. Dark genious. Monster.

[@windstorm1000]

Augusta would have been the best wife for him--except she was his half sister. Still didn't stop a child being born between them.

[@WildWildWest30000]

How he threw his parrot out the window lol omg

[@SimplyLimbo]

Tara LS yes that was savage 😅 You like Byrons works Tara ?

[@WildWildWest30000]

Of course. But his personal choices are debatable lol

[@loanicastillo3327]

They lived alone in massive and expensive houses. They had to live together with their parents.

[@AliceTRoyal]

I think could see him doing it just to mess with his wife, then going back to rescue the parrot afterwards (when she wasn't looking). Hard to say for sure.

[@birutestriukiukabinyte1532]

Byron should have been born in ancient Egypt... And I don't like that this film doesn't tackle his homosexuality at all. He was partly homosexual, that's for sure, one time he was in love with a 15 year old boy. Of course no man or woman could rival his love for his sister :)

[@SimplyLimbo]

Birutė Striukių Kabinytė he didnt had sexual relationships with a man after that time in turky. It wasnt like he was gay, more like why Marcus Antonius would fuck a feminine guy just for the fuck of it, while being 99% of the time with women. He searched after lust and pleasure, but his pleasure at the end of his days were: women, alcohol, and laudanum and opium. People should understand that poets like Byron, Goethe etc were deeply influenced by the old greek and roman way of thinking. Byron was goethes favorite poet (source: Eckermann) and Goethe's time was the return to classicism, "german claccisism" sadly, it didnt last.

@@Prash1c HAhahahahahaha nice one.

[@DanielChavis]

@@SimplyLimbo Thank you! Why is it people nowadays think sexuality defines them? Sure he liked men/boys/women but was that all there was to him I think not.

Byron was a sick ass!!!

[@ragogna1588]

Why, in your opinion, is this the most watched part of the Playlist?

[@daniellelove3738]

Because of Annabelle and Byron having a connection finally

[@ragogna1588]

oh to have byron for a daddy !!!!

[@megaswenson]

If Byron is doing what I think he's doing at 5:07, then his unfortunate coloring must have come from Spanish bloodlines, instead of Roman, Hebrew, or Coastal Viking, because THAT act would have to take a lot longer (the first time), unless you're seriously underendowed. Not that it's anywhere NEAR as ridiculous as the quick insertion in Brokeback Mountain (which happened so fast, my wife had to tell me it was a sex scene - and she only realized it because she'd read an article...). Maybe the producers just don't understand the logistics. A montage scene or some other device showing the passing of HOURS would have been more realistic - unless Byron actually was as tiny as Napoleon was rumored to have been.

[@LilyNoelleArt]

@windstorm1000 They didn't have a child together. Historians are still debating whether or not they even had an affair, because 1. England needed to destroy Byron, which that rumor did, 2. He liked negative attention, which he got, and 3. Augusta and Lady Byron stayed friends their entire lives and were very close, despite Lady Byron knowing the rumors.

[@loanicastillo3327]

Lady Byron was a giving pious woman. I also refused to believe but it was all true as I keep my research. Medora had a similar profile as a trouble maker as Byron. She got into a lot of trouble, like she had an adulterous affair with the husband of her older sister. Byron and Ada Lovelace the child by Annabella died at 36 and Medora at 35 years old. Byron's father died at 33. So I think that prove it too. I had two toxic boyfriends and when they tell you adamantly they are evil, they mean it. Your mind is not ready to meet a psychopath. Your virtue makes you blind to madness. So you refuse to believe. But I think he could be reformed because of his high education and intelligence but it was hard to see at the time when psychology was not even a science and Catholic church was not available in England and he was Scottish. I think he took alcohol because of stress so stress mighty causes should have been removed. He also needed a chaperon at all times because women were always inviting him. Otherwise keeping him in jail was a possibility. However he had not been adulterous if Annabella had tried a little harder from what I have read. He did not want a divorce from her. He was easy to say yes to people because he was a giving lifepath 11. That along with his 22 made give away almost all his fortune before dying. But without guidance, protection and structure in his life he was just a man's lady. His marriage to Anna Isabella was something I don't know how their parents condoned in the first place. They must have been too naïve or accepting. Maybe it was for God teaching us a lesson to never repeat such an unfortunate marriage again. It also shows how women can love whatever. We don't truly have high standards. Even with a high education as Annabella she was just common.

[@peterforrest3424]

He reminds me of Leo Sayer

the actor is just not right--he's not handsome enough, or wild, or slightly off himself.
