| Notes | ['From Jurčič’s handwritten notes from 1868: \n\n"The theme of adultery (ehebruch) [sic] was and will be inevitable in poetic works, especially novels. There is a big difference if the adultery happens with the natural need in which the natural (sinlich) [sic] motives work together – after all, spirit and body cannot separate in life as they do on paper - or if it arises from a broken fidelity to a man or engaged woman due to a physical insatiable desire which happens with the female Don Juans who are portrayed by George Sand and who throw men like squeezed oranges away and fly as bees from a flower to flower, never satisfied. Slovenians don’t like that. We have morals embedded, we differ from the French. The French have comedies on this topic; we must have tragedies – a tragic ending. We must be soothed by a punishment which the natural power gives for the sin we do not defend. The whole, the strength, the morals rise above the attack of an individual in a tragic ending."\n\nCommenting on Sand\'s works in general (or at least those in which the main female protagonist has more lovers, such as Indiana, Lelia, Valentine). It\'s difficult to decide the reception type, since the titles of the works are not explicit.\nHERA_TestTB2015'] |
