Novalis y la ética romántica
I. Novalis.
Novalis es romántico e ilustrado, espiritualista y cientifista, progresista y reaccionario. Síntesis del espíritu de una época dominada por fuertes contrastes en lo filosófico, estético, político y religioso.
Friedrich von Hardenberg, literariamente llamado Novalis, nace en Sajonia en 1772 y muere en 1801, a los 29 años. Su sistema filosófico poético vincula la belleza con la vida moral, se aparta de la poética de su tiempo y desarrolla el amor por la Edad Media. Inspirado en Fichte y Schelling, incorpora como elementos fundamentales de su pensamiento la idea de la libertad, de la aspiración a lo infinito, la dialéctica sujeto-objeto, la concepción del arte y la acción humana como victoria sobre

a) Los románticos aspiraban satisfacer en vida su anhelo de lo universal infinito, de lo absoluto. b) Creían lograrlo por “intuición progresiva” de la esencia, origen y destino de toda la naturaleza, de la cual se sabían partes privilegiadas, por tener “conciencia”, “imaginación” y “sentimiento”. c) Una actitud típica de los primeros románticos, fue su dedicación apasionada a esta “intuición progresiva” de la esencia, origen y destino de todo lo creado. Actitud que a muchos los marginaba de las formas habituales de vida, sobre todo a los ojos de los “buenos burgueses”: vivían en el ensueño, o “en la luna...” o “en pos de la flor azul”. De las necesidades humanas y vitales, el amor, es quizás la más ligada a las formas habituales de vida, a la maraña institucional burguesa y, por eso mismo, motivo de conflicto para el romántico que vive para los valores y experiencias del mundo trascendente, ultra sensible, pero que al mismo tiempo es un hombre entero, que necesita una plenitud terrena, una satisfacción armónica de sus necesidades instintivas y normales. Este conflicto, constituye el nudo dramático principal de muchas obras románticas.
Ejemplo, la obra “La historia maravillosa de Peter Schlemihl” de Adalbert von Chamisso. P. Schlemihl, llega desde su mundo interior infinito al mundo exterior y trivial, en busca de amor terreno. No puede, sin embargo,
The theory of Bildungsroman defines a genre that has been employed in several literature pieces albeit most novels have employed the framework partially. The Bildungsroman literary genre convention dwells on the growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood morally and psychologically. Works that have employed the literary genre can also be referred to as coming of age genres. The novel by Viramontes entitled Under the Feet of Jesus gives an account of the plight of a family that lives as migrants. It has aspects that indicate similarities with the theories of the Bildungsroman. The essay evaluates how and to what extent the events of the novel fit the genre conventions in the Bildungsroman. Furthermore, the essay will delve into the justification behind the choice to use or not to use the genre conventions to enhance the theme of struggle as Estrella and her family experience hardships, focusing on migration and adolescence which characterize the life of the protagonist, Estrella, and her family.
The aim of this essay is to present the different ways E.E. Cummings and Pablo Neruda in their poems “It May Not Always Be So” and “Always” respectively deal with the issue of love affairs. It will also seek to examine the similarities and differences in the poetic devices they use, and in the way the idea of prospective change, namely the possibility of unfaithfulness in the first, and the past of the speaker’s lover in the second poem is encountered by each speaker. The two poets have their speakers to express their feelings addressing the women they love in order to emphasize the theme of the poems, which they perceive in two utterly different ways: cummings’s speaker views the end of his
In Miguel De Cervantes Saavedra’s classic novel, The Ingenious Hidalgo Don Quixote is a wonderful tale about a man who abandons his normal life to pursue life as a knight. The characters in the novel such as Dulcinea, his love, Marcela, Maritornes and Sancho Panza his squire happens to play a great and important role in the novel when exampling the theme of love. The themes of love, care, infatuation and loyalty are greatly expressed throughout the novel. Throughout the novel, Cervantes is able to examine how one can differentiate true love from false and infatuated love.
He incorporates the analytical side and issue between the human interaction to develop diction. In this essay, Berry repeatedly repeats the phrase, “I will love you forever” (para 22) and the words “marriages,friendships, kinships, and neighborhoods” which causes an emphasis on how Berry wants us, the reader to relate and understand the life between both men and women. Berry explains how men and women start to distance themselves from each other in which what they say as in “ I love you” and “Forever” have no meaning. It is easy to say through a text but it is rare to say it in that person's face. Humans have left the old romantic tradition, and now words seem to have no meaning in which we doubt our partner. This leads Berry to identify the structure between the cause and effect between the relationship between men and women. The cause and effect transition when he states “it may explode because of the pressure inside it”( para 17) meaning that there comes a certain point in the relationship where insecurities and question will arise which ties to the stereotype which leads into competition. “What one person can do another person can do just as well or a new person can do better” (para 18) demonstrates the repetition of the word “person” which is used to target and bring the understanding that we are all the same which leads us to become strong individuals, which leads to a sense of competition with one another to turn
This essay will be going through the different types of love, and the power that they wield. Throughout the novel, different characters hold different powers of love. First, Clara’s love towards Ferula and Pedro Segundo will be discussed. And second, Esteban’s obsessiveness with Clara will be looked at closer. The bonds of love are stronger in relationships that aren’t acceptable compared to relationships that are acceptable in society.
The novella tells the story of a young migrant worker who is faced the the responsibility to help care for her family not only financially but in a manner of leadership as well. Throughout the story the character of Estrella changes drastically from a timid outcast to an outspoken leader. In the beginning Estrella is portrayed as a quiet young woman who is defined as an outsider. When looking at the character of Estrella she is characterized in the category as powerless. One reason that we can attribute Estrella’s state of power is her socio-economic circumstances. Coming from a family of five, Estrella assumes the role as the oldest daughter as well as second mother due to her father’s recent abandonment on the family. It is because of this abandonment that Estrella resents her mother’s older boyfriend Perfecto, who in return has gotten her mother pregnant.
She sometimes sits out by the creek and remembers her father telling her “I am your father, I will never abandon you.” (Cisneros 1) She remembers this only after she is a mother and this is when she realizes “How when a man and a woman love each other, sometimes that love sours. But a parent’s love for a child, a child’s for its parents, is another thing entirely.” (Cisneros 1) Surely by now she feels her love souring. She can not understand why Juan must drink all time and why he continues to beat after he promises that he will never do it again.
Love is perhaps one of the most contested issues in the world. No one has a precise definition of what love really should look or feel like. Most people have resorted to use their own experiences in love to effectively derive its true meaning. Through these experiences, philosophers have argued that the definition of love varies greatly depending on whether it was given by a man or a woman. This is however not the case. As proven by the narratives of Beauvoir and Sartre, the definitions of love derived from the experiences of both men and women are quite similar. Consequentially, Beauvoir’s account of the woman in love sheds important light on Sartre’s conflicting thought about love. By first highlighting the concepts of love as stated by Beauvoir, this text seeks to establish how Beauvoir’s account of love lays a vital foundation for Sartre’s.
‘Romance de la pena negra,’ follows the typical writing structure of the ‘romance’ style. This includes otto-syllabic rhyme, direct speech from unidentified people, consonants, vocalic echo and rhyme in even lines in assonance, (in this
Love is expressed differently by all, some like Salamono may tuck it away, only to release it when the lover has left forever. Others , like Marie, choose to boast it to the world without hesitation. This quality is her confidence is herself shining through. She never fails to attest to what she wants “Then she said she wondered if she
Miguel Cervantes’ Don Quixote is a masterpiece in many senses of the word: at the time of its conception, it was hailed as a revolutionary work of literature that defined a genre, in later centuries regarded as an acerbic social commentary, a slightly misshapen romantic tragedy, and even as a synthesis of existentialist and post-modernist features. At the centre of this Spanish satirical chronicle is the perplexing character Don Quixote. Don Quixote’s personality and perspective is rapidly established fromsince the beginning of the novel, revealing unabashedly to readers that he is mad. The source of his madness lies in the extent to which Don Quixote acts on his delusions and projections unto reality as he saunters through Cervantes’ Andalusia. Don Quixote’s delusions have two primary functions in the novel: demonstrating the reality and tragedy of Cervantes’ manifestation of idyllic themes of love and chivalry, and revealing certain characteristics about narration.
Todos, en un momento dado, nos hemos enamorado, y sabemos que cuando una embarca en el viaje de amor, siempre estamos ‘desnudos’, vulnerables, desarmado.
Romanticism came to be in the 18th and 19th centuries which emphasized the imagination and emotions of romanticism. Many people viewed this type of literature as the quality or state of being impractical or unrealistic meaning romantic feelings or ideas. During this time many poets were encouraged to express their true colors and individual uniqueness. The Romantic Era expanded all throughout the world, and reached poets such as Keats, Byron, Shelley, and Wordsworth.
Moreover, Don Juan speaks of commitment to one woman as bondage or a death sentence. In the story Don Juan was once committed to his Elvira, presently has lost interest in her. Thus, Don Juan says “What! Would you restrict a man to staying chained to the first woman who takes his fancy, has him give up everything for her and never look back again?” ( 98 Misier). Therefore, Don Juan uses his expansive vocabulary to manipulate and persuade women of any background. Hence Don Juan remains bold in his efforts to steal a woman’s affections insomuch he enchants and stirs debate between Charlotte and Mathurine. In the story Charlotte and Mathurine debate over whom Don Juan loves. Therefore Don Juan fuels the debate between Charlotte and Mathurine. Also, Don Juan says “What do you want me to say. . .You both claim that I promised to marry you. But doesn’t each one of you knows the truth without my needing to spell it out? Surely the one I have given my promise to can afford to laugh at anything the other one says” (115 Moliere).
Ciertamente, algunos críticos podrían tomar la perspectiva equivocada con respecto a la trama de esta película, ya que muestra el amor platónico entre un humano y una máquina y a decir verdad, la idea no es tan descabellada sino más bien creíble. El pensamiento no es tan nuevo, ni original pues este argumento ha sido ya expuesto antes, pero lo que llama la atención es el escenario en el que hace vislumbrar al espectador.
