Dafne e Apollo
Sì rade volte,padre,se ne cogliePer triunfare o cesare o poeta,colpa e vergogna de l’ umane voglie,Che parturir letizia in su la lietaDelfica deità dovria la frondaPeneia, quando alcun di sé asseta.
Dante paradiso I 28-33
The story
• Apollo is in love with Dafne
• Dafne does not love Apollo
• She runs away from him• She turns into a tree
(alloro) to escape• Apollo still loves her
Deep meaning
- True love should be about the inside, no about the outside
- Chasing love is in vain, because eventually there is nothing left
- One cannot escape love
Love for the inside• English: • Fight for this love (song)• Just hold me (song)• True colors (song)• Phantom of the Opera (musical)• Beauty and the Beast
• Italian:• Dante’s paradiso (poem)• Petrarca’s canzoniere (poem)
• Dutch:• That man (song)
• Greek:• Saffo’s poem• Lotis (myth)
Lotis (Greek myth)
Lotis
• Similar myth (Greek)• About lust, not about
love• The nymph was
changed into a lotis tree, not into an alloro (laurel)
Saffo
Saffo’s poem
• Saffo was a female poet, born between VII and VI century B.C.
• The theme of Voigt is the same as the one in Daphne and Apollo: Love for the inside and metamorphosis
Se ora fugge presto ti inseguirò se non accoglie i tuoi doni, te ne darò, se non ti ama, presto ti amerà, anche se non vuole.
-Saffo I Voigt
Petrarca
Petrarca’s work
• His most famous work is called ‘Canzoniere’
• There is similarity between the story of Daphne and Apollo, and Petrarca’s one. Both the girls do not love their admirers.
Still important: yes or no?YES:
-The theme of love for one’s caracter, and not for his looks, keeps returning in stories and songs
NO:
-Only the most beautiful people are succesful on television and in modelling jobs
Conclusion
• Although there are mostly beautiful people
on television, these people are not really loved for their looks.
