      Dramatisches Gedicht in drei Abteilungen Der Gastfreund. Die Argonauten. Medea.

      • 228 pages
      • 8 hours of reading

      In diesem dramatischen Gedicht entfaltet sich die mythologische Erzählung um das goldene Vlies in drei Abteilungen. Die erste, „Der Gastfreund“, thematisiert die Gastfreundschaft und die moralischen Dilemmata, während „Die Argonauten“ die abenteuerliche Reise von Jason und seinen Gefährten schildert. In der dritten Abteilung, „Medea“, wird die tragische Figur der Medea in den Fokus gerückt, die zwischen Liebe und Rache hin- und hergerissen ist. Grillparzers Werk verbindet tiefgreifende emotionale Konflikte mit mythologischen Elementen und reflektiert menschliche Leidenschaften und ethische Fragen.
