| Résumé: | This article focuses on the seasickness scene in the second canto of Byron's Don Juan. The scene is analysed through the discourse of sincerity defined by Trilling and Girard. It is argued that in Don Juan sincerity is explored through unmediated responses of the body. This is exemplified in the seasickness scene, where vomiting is understood as Juan's response to Julia's insincere and pretentious love letter. |
