Hilo de vida – hilo de muerte. El conflicto de la creación en la obra de Marina Tsvietaieva

Abstract

This article goes deep into the work of the Russian poetess Marina Tsvietáieva to stablish a relationship between the author herself and the myth of Arachne. This approach offers the possibility to understand the myth according to the artistic attitude of Tsvietáieva. Our work is settled by the pride and the pressing need of both Arachne and Tsvietáieva to impose the artistic creation over any other belief or reality. This prospect sets also a nexus for a better understanding of the existing confusion between the person himself and what from the human being emerges making from creation a destructive activity. Finally we will notice how means of expression and way of life are likewise an instrument of death wich results in a state of slavery where the artist deprives himself of his own creation and become victim of his own creativity.
