In the poem Don Juan, George Gordon portrayed himself as the main character. In his own life George Gordon, aka: Lord Byron, lived very frugally and free spirited. ... Gordon’s use of his own life as inspiration can be seen clearly in the actions of his character. Not only does Don Juan act as a womanizer, but he also has a strong feel for self-centeredness. What proof do we see of Lord Byron’s character, Don Juan, being a dramatic portrayal of himself? The proof we see is in the defense that Don Juan himself gives in the poem for his actions. ... The simple fact is that George Gordon wrote the intelligent character poem as a justification for the actions he had taken in his own life.
The first point that we see that shows Lord Byron’s defense of himself through the main character is in the poems first paragraph in which Don Juan speaks of his age.
