Byron presents a comic vision of love and marriage throughout Don Juan. He ends Canto 1 with Don Alfonso apologising to his wife for accusing her of infidelity and then discovering Juan hidden in his wife’s bedroom.
“He stood like Adam lingering near his garden, With useless penitence perplex’d and haunted”
Byron uses prelapsarian language and alliteration to emphasise Don Alfonso’s embarrassment and guilt at his doubting of his wife. The dramatic irony caused by the reader’s knowledge that Don Juan is in the room while he apologises is comic. The comic tone is continued with the bathos of the last line of the stanza “When, lo! He stumbles o’er a pair of shoes”. The frequent use of bathos in the last lines of stanzas creates a flippant and nonchalant narrative tone, mocking the ostensibly serious subject matter: marriage, lust and infidelity. The choice of form is ideal for the satirical message Byron seeks to present. The eight line stanzas allow for a crescendo to build and then be mocked with a comic last rhyming couplet. This style seeks to satirise the aristocracy of the time, his own class and audience, specifically mocking their hypocritical gossip, which he had to endure throughout his fame in London, and is exemplified in the final four lines of Canto 1:
“The pleasant scandal which arose next day, The nine days' wonder which was brought to light, And how Alfonso sued for a divorce Were in the English newspapers of course”.
