SAMSONOVA AGONIJA JOHNA MILTONA: KOMPARATIVNI PRISTOP K LIKU SAMSONU

The graduation thesis presents Samson Agonistes, written by John Milton. The basics of this drama are taken from the biblical book of Judges. The main aim of this diploma is to compare the original story of Samson described in the biblical Book of Judges to John Milton’s Samson Agonistes. We will focus on parallels and differences in the two versions and how the poet himself is reflected in both of them. Milton and Samson shared some similar characteristics which he emphasized through the dialogues. Still, he put more emphasis on the poetic value of the poem than on historical accuracy of the story.Diploma razpravlja o dramskem delu Johna Miltona Samson Agonistes. Zgodba je vzeta iz biblijske knjige Sodniki in govori o sodniku Samsonu, ki je sodil Izraelce 20 let. Glavni namen diplomske naloge je primerjati pripoved iz knjige Sodniki ter dela Johna Miltona. Še posebej bodo poudarjene vzporednice in razlike obeh del ter kako se je v obeh delih prepoznal pesnik sam. Milton in Samson sta si bila poddobna v nekaterih lastnostih, katere je Milton poudaril skozi dialoge. Kljub temu je več pozornosti namenil pesniški vrednosti pripovedi kot pa zgodovinski točnosti
