| Sumario: | In this paper, the poems “Oak Leaf” (1841) by Mikhail Lermontov and “XXXV. Imitation” (1835) by Giacomo Leopardi will be studied from a comparative perspective. In the first instance, both poems will be compared in both their thematic and formal structure together with the poem “La feuille” (1816) by Vincent Antoine Arnault, and a series of parallels, differences and similaritiesbetween the three poems will be drawn. Secondly, the construction of nature in the poems of Leopardi and Lermontov will be analyzed based on the concepts of “evil nature”, “stepmother nature” and the conception of the ruling will of the world by Arthur Schopenhauer in The World as Will and Representation (1818) and The Will in Nature (1836). From this analysis we will try to verify the following hypotheses: the poems by Lermontov and Leopardi build a violent and destructive nature with all its members (animals, plants, humans) that we will opportunely define as “predatory nature”. In this sense, both poems anticipate Schopenhauer's proposals of the will to live, but in a poetic key. |
