| Summary |
This poem tells the story of a married Venetian lady who takes a lover after her husband has been lost at sea, and what unfolds when he returns after several years to resume his life and reclaim his wife. Byron used the poem to comment on the differences between moral and religious attitudes of his day, specifically between the more morally-relaxed Venetians and his native Britain. Beppo also utilizes ottava rima, a traditional Italian rhyming stanza often used in satire. |
