2. Satire the accomplices of feudalism and religion. The poet came to Cologne on the Rhine and visited the city in the dim night. When he visited the "gloomy and towering" Cologne Cathedral, he called it the "spiritual Bastille" that ruled Germany, and was regarded as a symbol of their "sacredness" by the church forces, which worked hard for 300 years.
Now the hooligans of the church association are trying to continue the building interrupted by Martin Luther and "complete this autocratic castle" The poet warned that this attempt is foolish, because in the near future, people will not only not finish it, but also regard the interior of the church as a stable.
3. The irony of "Reviving the Germanic Spirit" by the quintessential nationalists. The poet told him about the French Revolution. Speaking of the beheadings of King Louis XVI and the Queen, the Red Beard Emperor was furious. He said that these behaviors violated all manners. I was furious with the poet for calling him "you" directly and accused him of being a big deviant.
The difference between the poet and the red beard emperor is getting bigger and bigger. Finally, he shouted angrily, "You are just an ancient miracle. Go to sleep, without you, we will save ourselves, because we don't need an emperor at all. " ?
4. Satire on the cowardice and mediocrity of German bourgeoisie and its compromise to feudal forces. Han Mogna, the guardian goddess of bourgeois vulgar social reality, met the poet. The poet talked about his long exile in Paris and his nostalgia for his motherland. Han Mogna, a coquettish woman full of sensuality, invited the poet to drink sugar cane wine pulp and persuaded him to stay in Germany instead of going to Paris with sweet words.
She said that in today's Germany, people enjoy freedom of thought, only those who write and print books are restricted, and there is no autocratic behavior. Even the worst instigators can only be deprived of their citizenship through the courts. No one in prison died of hunger ... she thinks these are all beautiful phenomena and progress in Germany.
Extended data:
Poetry became Heine's weapon, and he satirized, mocked and attacked Germany in his works. However, what is hidden under this hatred is Heine's sincere love for Germany. As a Jew, he was educated by German culture since childhood, influenced by German culture, and wrote in German.
His character is shaped by Germany where he was born and brought up. It was the love-hate relationship between the poet and Germany that made him feel punished during his exile: he became a man with no country to return to. So he vented his love for Germany in the form of irony and hatred.
In the preface of 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 want to return to exile. "
