Talk:Regine Olsen
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
How was she married to Schlegel, if Schlegel died in 1829?
- The link was misleading: she married Johan Frederik Schlegel (1817-1896) not Friedrich von Schlegel, a philosopher. How confusing :) -- Taku 04:53, Apr 5, 2005 (UTC)
During this time, Regine was being tutored by Schlegel, her future husband, and a mutual infatuation between the two had developed.
The sentence is a bit ambiguous. Was an infatuation developing between Schlegel and Regine, or Kierkegaard and Regine?
Yeah, I also stumbled over that sentence. Further down, I was wondering whether the chronology is mixed-up: I always thought the Kierkegaard's breaking-off with Regine gave him material for "Fear and Trembling," and not the other way around. The story of Abraham and Isaac became so meaningful to him because of his personal tragedy. Johannes Wich-Schwarz 17:49, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
- Both actually. Schlegel fell for Regine, before Kierkegaard came along; but when Kierkegaard came, he swept Regine off her feet. When K broke it off, she married Schlegel. eh...
As for Fear and Trembling, Kierkegaard knew about Abe and Isaac before Regine; he just thought of it as another interesting story in the Bible. But after the breakup, that story gave Kierkegaard a double meaning. Poor Yorick 23:38, 5 October 2006 (UTC)
Mr.K seemed like such a sissy..
