Abstract

The present study deals with the conceptions of love in medieval literature, more specifically with the case of Aucassin and Nicolette. The aim is to highlight the various facets of love that the two heroes Aucassin and Nicolette have shown in the narrative. In order to restore the quintessence of the results of this study, we had to apply a mixture of three approaches, on the one hand the prospective and descriptive approaches, and on the other hand the sociocritical approach. The results obtained clearly showed the physio-gnomy and the polysemy of love expressed by the two young lovers Aucassin and Nicolette. These two linked destinies have expressed different types of love: a juvenile or infantile love, thwarted by their parents, an idyllic, a fairy or a dreamlike one, a fictitious love and a chivalrous one, an inseparable and initiatory love-sickness, a love-folly, a possible love.

REZUMAT

În articol, sunt abordate concepțiile despre dragoste în literatura medievală, mai precis, cazul lui Aucassin și Nicolette. Scopul cercetării este evidențierea diferitelor fațete ale iubirii pe care cei doi eroi, Aucassin și Nicolette, le-au arătat în narațiune. Pentru a restabili chintesența rezultatelor, a trebuit să facem apel la trei tipuri de abordări: prospectivă, descriptivă şi sociocritică. Rezultatele obţinute au dat clar în vileag esenţa şi polisemia iubirii la Aucassin şi Nicolette. Aceste două destine legate au cunoscut mai multe tipuri de iubire: juvenilă sau infantilă (zădărnicită de părinți), idilică, onirica, fictivă, cavalerească, inseparabilă, boala amoroasă, dragostea-prostie, iubirea posibilă.
