Character evaluation

edit
Poetry became Heine's weapon. He satirized, ridiculed and attacked Germany in his works. However, hidden under this hatred, it is Heine's sincere love for Germany that cannot be abandoned. As a Jew, he received German cultural education , influenced by German culture and written in German. His character was shaped in Germany, where he was born and grew up. It was the poet's love and hate for Germany that made him feel severely punished during his exile: he became a man who had no country to return to. Therefore, he expressed his love for Germany in the form of satire and hatred. In the preface to the publication, Heine wrote: "Don't worry, I love my motherland as much as you do. For this love, I spent 13 years in exile, and it is for this love that I will return to exile."
As the most important German essayist and journalist, Heine's cultural criticism has opened up a new critical style: it is not based on systematic and objective introduction and evaluation, but on completely subjective personal impression and feelings. Heine wrote a lot of articles to introduce French politics, society and cultural life At the same time, he was invited by French magazines to write articles to introduce German culture, literature, philosophy and religion to French readers《 On Romanticism 》, especially representing Heine's style.
In On Romanticism, Heine's comments on Germany Romantic Literature He made a thorough criticism. In his eyes, the Romantic literature "is the revival of medieval literature and art", "is a flower of suffering sprouting from the blood of Christ. It is a strange flower with dazzling colors..." He used caricature to describe the characteristics of the representative figures of the Romantic literature in a vivid but exaggerated way:“ Novalis The rose color in his works is the red glow of tuberculosis; The purple flame in Hoffman's "Fantasy Pieces" is burning high. " Therefore, "judging their works is not a matter for critics, but for doctors."
The poet was not only attacked on all sides during his lifetime, but also criticized after him. In Germany, from the 19th century to the 20th century, several proposals to establish a statue of Heine have caused great controversy. However, Heine seems to have anticipated all this long ago Literary history He was extremely confident and said, "I never care about my reputation as a poet. I don't care whether people praise or attack my poems. But you should put a sword on my coffin because I am a loyal soldier in the war of human liberation." (People's Online Review) [2]
