| Rezumat: | The present study proposes an analysis of the poem Dealuri (1977) by Ana Blandiana, carried out under the comparatistics perspective. A complete and coherent interpretation of Dealuri ‒ and, in particular, of the «dead» character ‒ can be realized through the mythocritical methodology, by employing the Vegetation God archetype. The first part reflects on the poem’s landscape: two specular dimensions ‒ air and earth ‒ are crossed by «spherical» hills, which benefically bestow prosperity on them and which are thus classifiable as a hypostasis of the Earth Mother Goddess. The second part, after having ascribed Dealuri to Lucian Blaga’s «mioritic space», proposes a comparatistic study of the Romanian Folk Ballad Mioriţa (Dealuri’s hypotext): in particular, the passive-feminine traits of the shepherd ‒ its main character ‒, the lamentation which his demise causes, but above all his fictitious marriage with an arcane female figure, permit to identify him with the Vegetation God archetype. The last part illustrates how this self-same archetype can be recognized in the «dead» character of Dealuri, lying underground but mindful of his past «lives» while listening «eternities» flowing. The Vegetation God Myth, preserved intact in an archaic text such as Mioriţa, is thus projected in a Twentieth-Century poem through a creative act of Ana Blandiana. |
