She has little interest in love for men and focuses on exposing the deception and corruption of an autocratic governor. As Wagner mentions in his autobiography,<em> Das Liebesverbot<\/em> is based on Shakespeare&#8217;s <em>Measure for Measure<\/em>, and Isabella in <em>Das Liebesverbot<\/em> has much in common with the person of the same name in Shakespeare\u2019s work: both of them are nuns and leave their monastery to appeal directly to a governor in order to have their brother&#8217;s death sentence withdrawn. However, Isabella&#8217;s strong will to expose injustice, mentioned above, is not an influence of the work by Shakespeare; when the governor unethically offers to withdraw the death penalty in exchange for her having sexual intercourse with him, Isabella in<em> Das Liebesverbot<\/em> quickly comes up with a plan to trap him and puts it into action, while Isabella in <em>Measure for Measure<\/em> quickly gives up on her brother&#8217;s rescue. To understand Wagner&#8217;s intentions behind these modifications, it is necessary to examine the background against which <em>Das Liebesverbot <\/em>was written.<\/li>\n<li>Profile of Presenter :<br \/>\nKeisuke Kato is a lecturer in German und German culture at Tokai University. His research field is German Literature, especially the plays and librettos of the 19th century. He focuses on the works of Richard Wagner (1813-1883) and its critical expression of European society. His PhD in literature (Sophia University, Japan, 2021) examined the figure of Wotan in <em>Der Ring des Nibelungen<\/em> as a characterization of numerous defects in the monarchy and Wagner\u2019s disappointment in it. He is the author of \u201cUntergang eines Herrschers als Sozialkritik. Richard Wagners <em>Das Liebesverbot<\/em>\u201d (2016) and \u201cDie Wandlung der Herrscher-Figur von Wagners <em>Die Sage von den Nibelungen<\/em> und <em>Siegfrieds Tod<\/em> zu <em>Der Ring des Nibelungen<\/em>\u201d (2018).<\/li>\n<li>Moderator : YAGISHITA, Emi<\/li>\n<li>\uff0aComment: There were 19 participants.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Report of Monthly Regular Meeting April 2022 (The 201st Meeting of Opera Research Group) Waseda Institute for  [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":4,"featured_media":7834,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"footnotes":""},"categories":[95],"tags":[87,82,73],"class_list":["post-8422","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news-en","tag-arts-en","tag-events-en","tag-research-en"],"acf":[],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8422","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/4"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=8422"}],"version-history":[{"count":1,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8422\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":8438,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/8422\/revisions\/8438"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/7834"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=8422"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=8422"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.waseda.jp\/inst\/cro\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=8422"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
