HUMOR MAHNITOG ORLANDA KAO RUŠENJE SREDNJOVJEKOVNIH TEMELJA U DRUŠTVU ŠESNAESTOG STOLJEĆA / THE HUMOR OF LUDICROUS ORLANDOAS THE COLLAPSE OF MEDIEVAL FOUNDATIONS IN THE 16TH CENTURY SOCIETY

Abstract

Medieval values and tradition have found their way to the society of the sixteenth century, and especially the nostalgia which is reflected in the popularity of works that celebrate the cult of women, platonic love, and chivalry values. This paper will show the way in which Ludovico Ariosto, an intellectual courtier, feels the absurdity of ideals on which the elite circles are based and experiences the restraint of his own your own freedom exactly due to the established social conventions and the rules of the position he is subordinated to.World of clumsy knights, women that are winning in key battles, and especially a great representation of the Frankish warlord who for the first time in literature goes berserk is the background of an epic poem, and will be used to insert my own thoughts about the absurdity of the society in which it operates and to present a modern thought about the artist's freedom, in applying my own originality and inverting it through narrative techniques and through humour, especially in an ironic manner.
