Idea
Poetry collection "Flowers of Evil" by Baudelaire - this whole revelation, conceived by the author back inyouth as a single product. It would seem that this is a regular collection, but all its parts are closely related and carry the general idea. It lies in the harmony and duality of our world: where there is good, there is evil, where there is happiness, there is a place and deep sadness. But what is remarkable, Baudelaire does not divide the world, as many used to do, into black and white, in his verses these antagonistic concepts flow into each other: Satan replaces God, and the call of the flesh becomes prosperous. “The Flowers of Evil” by Baudelaire give us the understanding that evil and good can be the source of beauty in absolutely equal measure.
One of the important places in the collection is the imagethe women are cheerful and sad, loving and cold like a statue, but they are all beautiful and their charm does not give rest to the poet. Baudelaire's poems “Flowers of Evil” reveal the essence of beauty from different sides, the author reasons where she came from, if she had not descended from heaven, or perhaps rose from Hell. The secret is able to comprehend, to see between the lines, not every reader, but penetrating the idea, he realizes that whatever the origin of beauty, it smoothes the blows of fate and makes the world more beautiful. Who else but a poet could best convey this? "Flowers of Evil" Baudelaire - it's not just a collection of individual poems, no,each creation is connected with other thin, but clear and durable thread. The poem "Albatross", located at the very beginning of the book, was loved by many. The majestic bird in the sea on the deck among the cruel sailors becomes helpless and pitiful. The pain and sadness of the author intensify with each new line, in which he again and again describes the splendor of the albatross. The sailors' fun turns his huge wings into nothing, and he cannot take off, he is doomed. Perhaps the author identified himself with this helpless bird: misunderstood, crushed, lost the ability to fly - such is the fate of the poet in modern society.
Another poem from the collection "Flowers of Evil" by Baudelaire - "Abel and Cain," it is written after the revolutionaryevents in France mid-19th century. He does not hesitate to encourage people to revolt, in which he himself took part. Standing on the barricades, Baudelaire was guided primarily not by political worldviews, but exclusively by emotional impulses. The biblical idea seems to have found continuation in this frank poem, and it is the Cain family that expresses the will of the people to revolt and not accept the foundations and orders of that time. The theme of Evil is a thread running through the entire collection, the author discusses the nature of Evil and reveals its different sides, it is not for nothing that such a name was chosen. Flowers are always something beautiful and positive, and the word “evil” itself causes only negative, and Baudelaire hints at this contradiction. “Flowers of Evil”, a brief description of which is impossible, is worth reading in full, enjoying the combination of the incompatible, discovering new sides of familiar concepts.
