DER NATURBEGRIFF IN GOETHES SCHAUSPIEL TORQUATO TASSO

In the dense web of correlations in Goethes classical drama Torquato Tasso the nature plays a significant role. The concept of „nature” covers the material and the human nature, both entangled in the complex relations to each other and to the human mind. However, in the poetic language there has been established the analogy between both concepts of nature and the opposition of nature and mind has been dialectically transcended. The disproportion of talent to life the poet has to overcome on his own, for he has the choice either to surrender completely to the nature, or master it with his own mind.
