1. Manfred

   Manfred is a dramatic poem written in 1816–1817 by Lord Byron. It contains supernatural elements, in keeping with the popularity of the ghost story in England at the time. It is a typical example of a Romantic closet drama. Manfred was adapted musically by Robert Schumann in 1852, in a composition entitled Manfred: Dramatic Poem with music in Three Parts, and later by Pyotr Ilyich Tchaikovsky in his Manfred Symphony. Friedrich Nietzsche was impressed by the poem's depiction of a super-human being, and wrote some music for it. Byron wrote this "metaphysical drama", as he called it, after his marriage failed in scandal amidst charges of sexual improprieties and an incestuous affair between Byron and his half-sister, Augusta Leigh. Attacked by the press and ostracized by London society, Byron fled England for Switzerland in 1816 and never returned. Because Manfred was written immediately after this and because Manfred regards a main character tortured by his own sense of guilt for an unmentionable offense, some critics consider Manfred to be autobiographical, or even confessional. The unnamed but forbidden nature of Manfred's relationship to Astarte is believed to represent Byron's relationship with his half-sister Augusta.

Examples of Manfred in a Sentence

1. Van Wagenen:

   Van Wagenen apologized for his remarks in the video in a subsequent statement, noting that it was Wilpon, not Manfred, who had suggested the game start at 8:10 p.m. ET. Jeff Wilpon called Commissioner Manfred this afternoon to notify him that our players voted not to play, they discussed the challenges of rescheduling the game. Jeff proposed an idea of playing the game an hour later. I misunderstood that this was the Commissioners idea.In actuality, this was Jeffs suggestion.

2. Justin Verlander:

   Its a f---ing joke, if any other $40 billion company bought out a $400 million company and the product changed dramatically, its not a guess as to what happened. We all know what happened. Manfred, the first time he came in, whatd he say? He said we wants more offense. All of a sudden he comes in, the balls are juiced? Its not coincidence. Were not idiots.

3. Joe Sheehan:

   Rob Manfred, since Rob Manfred's taken over, has floated a lot of trial balloons, this feels like another one of those. I think we'll get playoff expansion because that's where the TV money is but the 17( team) plan seems like a lot to ask.
