  • Eroe Byroniano E Confronto Tra Manfred E Faust
    EROE BYRONIANO E CONFRONTO TRA MANFRED E FAUST Introduzione all’autore: George Gordon Byron è considerato da molti critici il poeta indiscusso della corrente romantica. Il suo spirito libero e ribelle, che condivide con il suo amico Shelley, la sua passione per l’occulto, che lo rendono un possibile esponente della scuola satanica dei poeti, il suo evidente approccio con la corrente gotica e con tutto ciò che si può definire sublime, lo rendono sicuramente l’esempio vivente della definizione “bello e dannato”. La sua deformità fisica e il suo amore impossibile per la moglie di suo cugino fanno di lui un uomo dalla complessa e misteriosa personalità. E’ infatti risaputo che la sua vita fu piena di scandali, a causa della sua natura passionale e cinica. Il suo stile è chiaro ed egli è molto attento alle forme, tuttavia dalle sue opere ne esce anche una vena satirica, il cui scopo è rendere pubblico il suo disprezzo per le regole della società, che rendono la sua scrittura un’apoteosi di sfaccettature per niente scontate che rispecchiano il suo carattere. Eroe Byroniano: Tutti i protagonisti delle opere di Byron vengono definiti “eroi byroniani” per la loro evidente somiglianza con l’autore; in alcuni casi non sarebbe sbagliato parlare anche di autobiografia. L’elemento che accomuna tutti i protagonisti è il tema della ribellione: gli eroi del racconto scappano da un passato oscuro, pieno di costrizioni e disagi di diversi tipi, che li portano inevitabilmente sulla via della perdizione. Il loro fascino attira le persone che li circondano, ma il disprezzo che provano per il mondo supera ogni tentativo di creare un legame con gli altri personaggi.

S. 2 von 20 Gunter E. Grimm Faust-Opern Eine Skizze Das Faust-Thema stellt ein hervorragendes Beispiel dar, wie ein Stoff, der den dominanten Normen seines Entstehungszeitalters entspricht, bei seiner Wande- rung durch verschiedene Epochen sich den jeweils herrschenden mentalen Para- digmen anpasst. Dabei verändert der ursprüngliche Stoff sowohl seinen Charakter als auch seine Aussage. Schaubild der Faust-Opern Die „Historia von Dr. Faust“ von 1587 entspricht ganz dem christlichen Geist der Epoche. Doktor Faust gilt als Inbegriff eines hybriden Gelehrten, der über das dem Menschen zugestandene Maß an Gelehrsamkeit und Erkenntnis hinausstrebt und zu diesem Zweck einen Pakt mit dem Teufel abschließt. Er wollte, wie es im Volksbuch heißt, „alle Gründ am Himmel vnd Erden erforschen / dann sein Für- GUNTER E. GRIMM: Faust-Opern. Eine Skizze.
