Lord George Gordon Byron was the most controversial poet of the Romantic era. Byron's works included themes common to the Romantic era, such as great romance, love of nature, and tragic loss. He created the idea of ​​the hero as a tragic figure who is born to desire something that he will never achieve. Through this, Byron created and perfected the idea of ​​the Byronic hero. Byron first used it in his poem “Childe Harold's Pilgrimage”. The work introduced us to what would later become an example of a Byronic hero or character (Manning). The idea of ​​the Byronic hero consists of many different characteristics. The hero must have a fairly high level of intelligence and perception, as well as be able to easily adapt to new situations and use cunning for their own benefit. It is clear from this description that this hero is well educated and, by extension, rather sophisticated in his style. Besides the obvious charm and attractiveness this automatically creates, he struggles with his integrity, being prone to mood swings or bipolar tendencies. Typically, the hero lacks respect for any authority figure, thus creating the image of the Byronic hero as an exile or outcast. The hero also tends to be arrogant and cynical, engaging in self-destructive behaviors that lead to the need to seduce women. Although his sexual attraction due to his mysterious nature is quite useful, this sexual attraction often gets the hero into trouble (Wikipedia). In Jane Eyre, Charlotte Brontë had a character who fit this description very well in Mr. Rochester. But rather it was the influence of the culture surrounding the idea of ​​the Byronic hero that made Rochester seem Byronic.
