Technically-Living Zombie: The poem describes the last loyal dog protecting the corpse of its dead master from both beasts and hordes of starving zombie-like humans who are so desperate that they eat the bodies of their fallen kin.

comment
Artistic License – Biology: Even if the sun were to suddenly disappear, not all life would die out as creatures that live at the very bottom of the ocean where sunlight does not reach would be able to continue surviving for millions or billions of years due to heat being emitted from the earth’s core - not that Lord Byron could possibly have known about them in 1816, but science marches on.

comment
Snakes Are Sinister: Subverted, with the sun gone all the wild animals became timid and tame, seeking solace among the humans, including snakes, which are typically associated with biblical imagery of evil but are described as hissing but “stingless�.

All Animals Are Domesticated: After the sun goes out and the earth is cast into permanent night, all the animals (including snakes) become tame and timid, seeking comfort from the humans only to be killed and eaten.

Gothic Horror
 Darkness / int_9a158325
comment
Gothic Horror: Byron’s short story contains a great deal of classic gothic horror note likely inspired by an ash cloud that spread across Europe in 1816 that came from a gigantic volcanic eruption in Indonesia, causing 1816 to be known as "The year without a summer".
