Abstract

Cilj ovog diplomskog rada pod naslovom Grčka tragedija i moderna filozofija u Elektri Richarda Straussa je usporedba Straussove opere i libreta, čiji je autor Hugo von Hofmannsthal, sa Sofoklovom tragedijom, kao i analiza utjecaja moderne filozofije na karakterizaciju glavnog lika Elektre. Usporedbom Elektre iz Sofoklove tragedije s Elektrom iz Straussove opere, vidi se kako su kulturološka i povijesna zbivanja utjecala na razliku u karakterizaciji, i to osobito razvoj psihoanalize i Freudeova istraživanja te Nietzscheova filozofija, koja je promijenila tradicionalni odnos prema grčkoj tragediji. Analizom Hofmannsthalovog libreta vidimo na koji je način modernizirao svoju verziju grčke tragedije, koja unatoč tim promjenama u srži ostaje vjerna Sofoklovoj tragediji koja joj je služila kao predložak.

Abstract (english)

The main goal of the thesis entitled Greek Tragedy and Modern Philosophy within Electra by Richard Strauss is comparison between Strauss' opera, i.e. the opera's libretto written by Hugo von Hofmannsthal, and Sophocles' Greek tragedy, as well as analysis of the influence of modern philosophy on the portrayal of the main character, Electra, in the opera. By comparing Elactra in Sophocles' tragedy and Strauss' opera, it is possible to conlcude how the characterization was influenced by cultural and historical events – mainly by the birth of psychoanalysis and Freud's research, as well as Nietzsche's philosophy, which changed the traditional perception of Greek tragedy. By analysis of Hofmannsthals' libretto, it is possible to see in which manner he modernized his version of the Greek tragedy, which, in spite of all alterations, stays true to the original tragedy, which served as a model.
