Question: How does Byron satirize Donna Inez?
Answer:
In Don Juan, Byron makes fun of Donna Inez by showing that she is not as good as she pretends to be. She acts like a very good and wise woman, but in reality, she is proud, selfish, and full of faults. Byron uses humor and irony to show that Donna Inez always blames her husband and shows herself as innocent, even though she is not perfect. He also laughs at her for being too proud of her education and knowledge, which she uses only to look important. Donna Inez tries to control her son Juan too much, making his life very strict and boring. Byron shows that she is not truly kind or moral, but only wants to look better than others. In this way, Byron satirizes Donna Inez to show how people in high society often hide their true nature behind a false image.
