Die Zauberflöte Analysis Language of Play “Papageno > Papagena.” Ladies vs. Priests Language of Characters “Damen plaudern viel.” “Schöne Jungling.” vs. “Erwiesen” Language of Music Hölle Rache / Heil’gen Hausen / Love Duet “[The Queen’s] is a losing song; it is femininity's song. The winning world is the other one, the father's, the men's world.” - Catherine Clement

Von Beethoven – Leonore Florestan Leonore (Fidelio) Minister Governor Jailer female male

Leonore Analysis Language of Characters –Praising: “edlen Mut” (L18: Rez) “Retterin” (L18: Rez) emphasis on joy of Leonore’s husband: “wer ein holdes Weib errungen” (L18: Rez) Language of Play Leonore not depicted as independent. Language of Music Women more independent role in music. Men on evil side depicted respectfully.

Conclusion Female roles important, but usually inferior to male’s. Women are introduced in connection with men. Operas appear to be written from the male’s perspective.
