Abstract
The work entitled Fedra by Miguel de Unamuno—one of the most eminent authors and philosophers of Spanish literature who deals with the human being and delicately describes it—was inspired by the story of Fedra, a princess who falls in love with her son in the Greek mythology. Unamuno recreates this myth within Spanish society of the first half of the 19th century. In the play, Fedra is a young woman who is in love with Hipólito, the son of her husband Pedro, and for this reason she begins to harm herself and the people around her, behaving in a melancholic way as a slave of her passion towards Hipólito. This work will deal with Phaedra's injured state of mind, her melancholic character formed by her past, analyzing to what extent this state of mind leads the young woman in her feeling of love. The work will also focus on the factors that carry the risk of an impossible love within a traditional society and social norms, her own sacrifice and that of the young man.
米格尔·德·乌纳穆(Miguel de unamuu)的作品《费德拉》(Fedra)的灵感来自希腊神话中一位公主费德拉(Fedra)与儿子相爱的故事,他是西班牙文学中最杰出的作家和哲学家之一,他处理人类问题并对其进行了细致的描述。乌纳穆诺在19世纪上半叶的西班牙社会中重现了这个神话。在剧中,Fedra是一个年轻的女人,她爱上了丈夫Pedro的儿子Hipólito,因此她开始伤害自己和周围的人,表现得很忧郁,就像她对Hipólito的激情的奴隶。这部作品将探讨费德拉受伤的精神状态,她的忧郁性格是由她的过去形成的,分析这种精神状态在多大程度上导致了这位年轻女子的爱情感受。这项工作还将关注在传统社会和社会规范中带来不可能的爱情风险的因素,她自己的牺牲和年轻人的牺牲。
