Three women in love with him, a prudish foreign society, and a ghost possibly haunting the halls in which he is a guest: these are the strands of the knot in which Lord Byron has tied Don Juan (pronounced, according to Byron, to rhyme with "few on"). To untangle himself will require all the boy's courage and compassion, and take him through literal Hell.
