Bildungsroman hakkında
- In literary criticism, a Bildungsroman is a literary genre that focuses on the psychological and moral growth of the protagonist from youth to adulthood (coming of age) in which character change is extremely important.
- The term was first coined in 1819 by philologist Karl Morgenstern in his university lectures, and later famously reprised by Wilhelm Dilthey, who legitimized it in 1870 and popularized it in 1905.
- The genre is further characterized by a number of formal, topical, and thematic features. The term coming-of-age novel is sometimes used interchangeably with Bildungsroman, but its use is usually wider and less technical.
Buildingsroman özellikleri
- A Bildungsroman relates the growing up or “coming of age” of a sensitive person who goes in search of answers to life’s questions with the expectation that these will result in gaining experience of the world.
- Usually, at the beginning of the story, there is an emotional loss that makes the protagonist leave on his/her journey.
- In a Bildungsroman, the goal is maturity, and the protagonist achieves it gradually and with difficulty.
- The genre often features a main conflict between the main character and society.
- Typically, the values of society are gradually accepted by the protagonist and he/she is ultimately accepted into society—the protagonist’s mistakes and disappointments are over. In some works, the protagonist is able to reach out and help others after having achieved maturity.
