Answer:

Lord Byron

Step-by-step explanation:

A romantic hero in the chivalric an Arthurian tradition is that who renders himself a high sense of honor and courage not less skillful at the art of wooing. Don Juan is the personification of this hero in an aletrnative version. The narration of the poem takes place in the first person form in a comic mode and it is the speaker who is in the need of a hero like the ones who believed in the chivalric love. A sense of melancholy can be perceived throughout the piece of poetry due to the lack of such romantic figures in the time it was written. This is one of the great comic inventions in English literature and comes from the wit of Lord Byron.
