초록
Ovid’s Orpheus in the Metamorphoses is an example of his clever reworking of convention and tradition. Ovid avails himself of the theme, the characters and the situations furnished by the Virgilian tradition. But, by applying narrative ingenuity to the basic story-line of Virgil’s episode, Ovid creates something new and original in terms of narrative effects. Above all, Ovid withholds the traditional sanction of his authority as narrator. He does not want his reader to be naively drawn into his narrative and to take the narrator’s words at face value, and he upholds the importance of the reader as an agent coming to grips with the meaning of a tale in his mind. In particular, Ovid’s juxtaposing of contrasting moods poses uncertainties and questions within the narrative, a device which forces the reader to view the narrative from a critical and detached perspective.
Abstract
Ovid’s Orpheus in the Metamorphoses is an example of his clever reworking of convention and tradition. Ovid avails himself of the theme, the characters and the situations furnished by the Virgilian tradition. But, by applying narrative ingenuity to the basic story-line of Virgil’s episode, Ovid creates something new and original in terms of narrative effects. Above all, Ovid withholds the traditional sanction of his authority as narrator. He does not want his reader to be naively drawn into his narrative and to take the narrator’s words at face value, and he upholds the importance of the reader as an agent coming to grips with the meaning of a tale in his mind. In particular, Ovid’s juxtaposing of contrasting moods poses uncertainties and questions within the narrative, a device which forces the reader to view the narrative from a critical and detached perspective.
