As one of the most representative poet of the British romantic period,Byron had a tremendousimpact in the romantic literature, painting, music, etc. In many byron’s excellent poems,he created agroup of ‘byronic hero’. These characters all had the strong double character. According to thecreation of byron’s works, this paper will take two works of schumann and Berlioz as example. Fromthe music theme of melody, rhythm, elements,etc. we will take a further analysis of the hero’s imagewith melancholy, justice, loneliness, dream character traits,etc. And then to dig out the romantichero’s traits such as unhappiness, pessimism, just ambition. In addition, compared with the originaltext, Two composer’s ‘hero’ influence are greatly weakened in the spirit connotation and social forcelevels. But yet, for the lack of "hero" contemporary temperament gradually, reviewing andunderstanding the profound meaning of ‘hero’ still has very important practical significance.
