Reflexe apocaliptice în opera lui Ion Heliade Rădulescu

Abstract

In this chapter, I tried to summarize the Apocalyptic view of I. H. Rădulescu s opera. Anatolida is a complex poem , where I explained some biblical metaphors as Eve, Satan and Jesus Christ, as if they are some characters in the poem.The poem underlines some similitudes between the Bible and the Apocalyptic view in Anatolida. The lyrics of the poem are filled with metaphors and images that illustrate the ending view of the world. The romantism of the opera is reflected in romantic themes as the end of the world and the hell is illustrated in such various colours. The demons are such evil characters that are falling down from heaven, with Lucifer, who becomes Satan.
