Duke Bluebeard's Castle
The Nietzschean Condition and Polarity of Characterizations: Diatonic‐Chromatic Extremes
This chapter looks at Door V, Bluebeard's Domain, which represents the culminating point for the polarity of darkness and light, based on large-scale and local use of geometrically expanding proportional structure. An aphorism of Nietzsche on independence is also presented, which pertains to Bluebeard's strength and loneliness. The chapter discusses isometric text-verse of ancient Hungarian folk music as structural framework for the final phase of character development and transformation. It also includes an aphorism of Nietzsche on women and its reflection in the dual illusion of Balázs's Judith.
Keywords: Nietzschean condition, Bluebeard's Domain, geometrically expanding proportions, loneliness, isometric text-verse, ancient Hungarian folk music, dual illusion
