Don Juan

Don Juan is very particular, in my opinion. He is both womanized and a womanizer. The term "Don Juan", in more recent times, is a term used to describe a man that flirts with a lot of women, and potentially has relations with them, in private. How odd it is that in John Clare's poem, it discusses love and marriage, rather than sex and masturbation, as it was in Lord Byron's poem of Don Juan. Don Juan is portrayed in a romantic sense, but one of those senses is far more sexual, and somewhat describes a sexual frustration for a first love, in the first couple of stanzas.
