“Parsifal”
• Wagner’s spelling of Parsifal instead of the Parzival he had used up to 1877 is informed by an erroneous etymology of the name Percival deriving it from a supposedly Arabic origin, Fal Parsi meaning “pure fool”. (Wiki)
• “Parsifal is a work of perfidy, of vindictiveness, of a secret attempt to poison the presuppositions of life - a bad work.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)
• “I despise everyone who does not experience Parsifal as an attempted assassination of basic ethics.” (Friedrich Nietzsche)
• Some writers see in Parsifal the promotion of racism or anti-semitism as Wagner wrote that he “regarded the Jewish race as the born enemy of pure humanity and everything noble about it.”
Hmmmmm.
If Friedrich Nietzsche doesn’t like you, it’s probably a good thing. But, like the typical Birfer, you don’t do your homework.
Hmmmmm.
parsy, who has a motif.
