Rezumat | ||||||
Imagining evil in playful expressions can create a good premise for defying both the effects of evil and evil itself. Laughing in the face of death or scoffing the devil is in fact a manifestation of heroism, so much so that in the Romanian popular imagination this happens in the most ridiculous way. Even some nicknames of the devil are expressions of the irony and persiflage of this character. This way of representing evil has been fully valorized by literary artistic production. The imagination of evil through highly humanized (anthropomorphized) attributes such as devils starving, crouching and shivering from the cold, helpless in the face of man's cunning and especially in the face of woman's cunning, is the sum of a demythologization of characteristics that have emerged under religious influence. This way of treating evil in the cult literature feeds the other need of human when he is put in front of evil forces, namely, the need to laugh "according to the desire of the heart", because only in this way the human can fight the demon and the good can produce joy. Something that folk tales, cult fairy tales, fantastic short stories or even realistic ones, can illustrate with the most nuanced artistic elements that depict a world of the possible. This is a world that is created by the irony of the devil and by the copious laughter towards him. |
