The event which is associated with the peripeteia (or turn of events) in the play is Teiresias prophecy. It changed the whole course of the drama afterwards.
19th-Century Expectations
In both North America and Europe in the 19th century, women and men were expected to fill separate spheres of society. Men were expected to live a public life, whether it was working in a factory or socializing with like-minded men in public places, like clubs, meetings, or bars. On the other hand, women were usually expected to live their lives at home, taking care of the cooking, cleaning, and child rearing. Free time for women was not supposed to be spent socializing but doing other things related to the maintenance of the family, from sewing socks to laundry.
In the poem, Byron writes that daylight is "gaudy."
He does this to prove that daylight is overly bright and showy. His love is not like daylight -- she is not bright and showy.
That's why she walks like the night -- she does not need to flaunt her beauty. Her beauty is natural.
