Every literature is totally different. Every literature depends on its form, its era and importantly its writers’ feeling that they added into their poems in order to reflect others aware and understand of what they want to relay. Like this poem, “I Would I Were a Careless Child” written by George Gordon Byron. This poem was written by the incident actually happened in his life. Therefore, let find the answers in this poem how the story would be.
George wrote this poem to wreak his terrible feeling, represent his bad behaviors that he did in the past. He was a bisexual who loves both men and women, which it can refer from the word “gay” in the 3rd stanza of this poem. According to his biography, he wrote the story of his friend whom he fell in love to be a part of his 2nd literary work, but his friend is a man. For this reason, he was criticized by others who read his work. Moreover, He ever had married once time. Later, George's wife knew that he had a secret relation with his sister-in-law, so it’s the cause of divorcing which it can refer in the 4th and the 5th stanza of this poem. Finally, everything is negative for him. His life was judged by others, whether companion or lover. Everybody left him away. As a result, George lost in his mind after he much pained monsoon about his literary works and his life. He escaped the problems by moving to live in another country to rehabilitate himself, but “there is no place like home” he would back to his hometown. The hometown in this poem means he would like back to the time when he was an innocent child who did not worry everything. Although painful, it does not much like the life he was living now.
