Shapes and Meanings of the Metaphor in the "Zamolxes" Dramatic Poem

Summary/Abstract: The aim of this paper is to analyze the different occurrences of the blindness’ metaphor in relation with the general background of LucianBlaga’s dramatic poem ‘Zalmoxis’. The metaphysic background of the dramatic poem is illustrated by Thracian mythical representations, suggestions to Christian religion, Romanian folkloric sources and representations of theDionysian rituals. This complex metaphysic background reveals the poeticvoice’s quest of deconstructing the myth while it is written, in order to provethat the divinity possesses the power, but only the human being possesses the light which can lead one to the final truth. Participating at the process of creation can be a painful task; consequently, the process of creation andthe blindness’ metaphor are associated with the ambiguous dimension of thesubconscious.
