Aspects of Assuming the Sacred in Lucian Blaga`s Dramas

Summary/Abstract: This literary essay is focused on the problem of sacral symbols in Lucian Blaga’s dramatic play Anton Pann. This drama restores some major archetypes connected to the Romanian sacral myths, such as messianic Poet, church, maternity, song. Divine Word, belles, marriage, child a.s.o. But all of them are no more ancestral myths, they became some new myths, rebuilt by Lucian Blaga, who was a philosopher, not only a writer. That is why all along his literary work he reinforced the most essential Romanian ethos and mentality. Anton Pann, as a character, such as any other character from this drama, is built around some symbols that are read again in a new manner, from a spiritual point of view, but all the destinies are implied in creating a special image of sacrality (from a traditional to a modern one). On the other hand, through Anton Pann the author restores the great symbol of the Poet (Anton Pann was one of the first Romanian traditional poets); interesting is the fact that Lucian Blaga destroyed the classic image of the messianic poet and chooses another one: a poet as a man of his society, thinking just the others and having the same doubts, trying to live his own life and not being anymore a simple mirror and a model for the others. The drama has a fundamental idea proposed by Lucian Blaga, according to which world is a mixture of signs and symbols, who must be read particularly in each epoch because the humankind is creating on and on senses and reasons, some of them completely disconnected from the ancient status of life, still preserving the characteristic of mind and soul. Lucian Blaga knew like any other the Romanian spirituality, so that all of his literary and philosophic work rebuild a whole universe.
