Description
Summary:This article compares two dramas by Schiller and Goethe, Die Verschwörung des Fiesko zu Genua (1783) and Torquato Tasso (1790), respectively. Fiesko introduces the struggle for a restoration of the Genoese Republic that would end with the Dorias’ despotic dictatorship. Tasso exposes the difficulties of a poet who develops his writing in a courtly environment. We mean, Schiller writes about republican virtues and so Goethe does about courtly virtues. Dramatic conflicts are outstanding in their typologies of the tragic. Schiller collides against despotism-freedom politics, and Goethe arises from the pressure that an external framework exerts on individuality. The unsolvable of both conflicts is a hint for contradictions dealing with republican and courtly virtues.
