Video ?ber Heines Leben von Deutsche Welle K?ln - drei Teilen
Letzte Caput von Winterm?rchen:
Dante ist wie Heine
-- he sent his enemies to Hell
Warum hat Heine soviel ?ber sein Gespr?ch mit Hammonia grschrieben?
-- he's really talking to himself about whether he can stay in Hamburg or must return to Paris
-- speaks about it in a dream to distance himself (for safety)
(nicht wirklich Verfremdungeffekt wie Brecht)
Stilmittel ist Ironie
-- sagt man etwas ernst als Witz
-- protection against censorship
-- Irony makes people think.
Bring some examples of Doonesbury - irony
The Nazis didn't like Heine; they had Heine's name taken off books that included the Lorelei poem, nur Volkslied.
The poems are not ironic but come from a Romantic tradition.
