Symbolism and Motives of Supernatural in Divine Commedy

Simbolizam i motivi nadnaravnog u Božanstvenoj komediji završni je rad koji se bavi pitanjem tematike i važnosti ovog djela za svjetsku povijest književnosti, ali i za njegov nacionalni značaj. Obrađuje se tema srednjeg vijeka i njegove važnosti za današnjicu, novine koje su se uvele u tom razdoblju, a koje su bitno doprinijele razvoju čovječanstva. Kako je ovo djelo nastalo u srednjem vijeku, određuje se njegov značaj za sami srednji vijek, te značaj autora Dantea Alighiera koji je živio pred kraj srednjeg vijeka i njegovog utjecaja. Analizira se tematika djela, njegova simbolika, s naglaskom na srednjovjekovnu simboliku, i alegorija te smisao njegove složene strukture, kompleksnosti i motivacije da djelo bude napravljeno na način na koji jest. Ispituju se autorovi uzori, teme i ideje potrebne za stvaranje djela, njegova mašta i imaginacija te načela po kojima je djelo pisano. U obzir se uzimaju vrijeme i mjesto autorova života i nastanka njegova djela te situacije i ljudi koji su ga okruživali. Cilj ovog završnog rada je analizirati, istražiti književno djelo te doći do zaključka o razlozima njegova značaja te aktualnosti i u današnjem vremenu.Symbolism and motives of supernatural in Divine comedy is a final thesis that is working on question of theme and importance of this piece for world history of literature, but also for his national significance.
