Abstract

The aim of this article is to examine how Byron’s Hebrew Melodies depicts both his manifestations of the vicissitude of life occurrences and the ironic process of human occasions and resolutions. Mostly composed in 1815 before his turbulent self-exile of 1816, Hebrew Melodies is a prominent collection of contemplative poems based on historical and sacred subjects appearing in the Holy Scripture. This paper concentrates on the coherent thematic concerns which Byron persistently explores for his diverse poetic effusions and significances. Sustaining the key aspects of his poetic art in his early works of 1807-14, the author in Hebrew Melodies further scrutinizes, with reference to biblical sources the problem of the irony and boundary of man’s determination in the course of coping with a number of unpredictable emergences of human occasions.
