A DRAMATIC READING OF BAUDELAIRE (X) Symphonic Poem (III) The Empathy Method

In this study Tuğrul İnal analysis ‘Un hemisphere dans une chevelure’ from Baudelaire’s Spleen de Paris and 13 pieces taken from Les fleurs du mal. İnal believes that through an empathic reading a work of literature achieves an artistic and aesthetic liberation and the text is rewritten in a certain manner. İnal considers Baudelaire as a poet and aesthetic expert and analysis how this reflects on his real and literary pursuits The Empathy Method allows the readers to experience Baudelaire over and over again in an intertextual context and a narrative style befitting the essay. Thus, the essayist becomes an actor, an independent implementer affecting the whole and even the producer. Women and symbol of Devil are depicted as a prima donna and protagonist in Baudelaire’s inner world. These prototypes of beauty, good, evil, death, life, heaven, hell and the fall, bring dialectic clashes to his dramatic work
