One would expect in the early garden, with no one but the primitive family upon earth, the feeling of solidarity would make the family a unit. But Byron could not make Cain a sociable being and, at the same time, obey his own natural creative impulse. Cain stands aloof; he will not join in the family prayer; he will not, like his father and mother and brother, resign himself, content with the Creator's ordinances. " Adah. My beloved Cain, Wilt thou frown even on me ? Cain. No ! Adah, no ! I fai...n would be alone, a little while. Abel ! I'm sick at heart; but 'twill pass. Precede me, brother,- — I will follow shortly. And you, too, sisters, tarry not behind." BYRON. 9 1 Then he is left by himself, and the rest of the drama is mainly a dialogue between himself and Lucifer, — the spirit of negation, of severance from the restrictions of life, and who but voices Cain's higher questioning self. Don Juan, in a less emphatic way, is of the same fraternity. Like Childe Harold he is a traveller, but, unlike him, he is not a jaded youth.
