Abstract

Rainer Maria Rilke’nin simgeci bir yazar olarak opak şiir dili, okuyucuların şiirlerinden çeşitli yorumlar çıkarmasını ve anlamlarını kişisel deneyimlerine uygun bir şekilde yeniden yapılandırmasını sağlar. Rilke’nin “Panter” adlı şiiri, insanlık durumu ve varoluşun kar-maşıklıkları üzerine derin içgörüler sunarak önemli bir sembolik modernist eser olarak geniş çapta kabul edilmektedir. Bu çalışma, varoluşçuluk perspektifinden, fırlatılmışlık, edimsellik, kaygı ve aşkınlık gibi varoluşsal boyutları inceleyerek bu karmaşıklıklara daha derinlemesine inmeyi amaçlamaktadır. Şiirin sembolik diline odaklanarak, analiz, yüzeysel anlamın ötesine geçmeyi ve “Panter”in modern insanın hakikat, özgünlük ve öz gerçeklik arayışının bir metaforu olarak yorumlanma olasılığını keşfetmeyi hedeflemektedir. Modernite bağlamında ele alındığında, kafesinin içinde hapsolmuş panter, bireyin toplumsal yapıların kısıtlamalarından kurtulma mücadelesini ve giderek parçalanan bir dünyada anlam bulma çabasını yansıtmaktadır.

The Quest For Truth and Authenticity in Rainer Maria Rilke’s “The Panther”

Abstract

The opaque poetic language of Rainer Maria Rilke as a symbolist writer facilitates the reader to elicit diverse interpretations from his poems and refabricate their meaning as befitting. Rilke’s poem “The Panther”, is highly recognized as a prominent symbolic modernist work, showcasing Rilke’s profound insight into the human condition and the intricacies of existence. By adopting the framework of existentialism and relying on the symbolic language of the poem, this paper tries to transcend the poem’s literal meaning and bring up the possibility of considering “The Panther” as a symbol of modern human questing for truth and authenticity in the backdrop of modernity.
