Kierkegaard’s Existential Sacrifice
Original language description
This paper aims to analyze the notions of sacrifice and existential entrapment in the early writings of Soren Kierkegaard. I look at two female characters that appear in Kierkegaard's Either/Or - Marie Beaumarchais and Donna Elvira - and I argue that an encounter with a deceptive individual (a seducer) forced these two women to sacrifice their capacity for existential-spiritual growth. Donna Elvira and Marie Beaumarchais remain trapped - as Kierkegaard frames it - within the aesthetic existential sphere. The goal of my paper is twofold: first, I describe in detail the nature of their sacrifice and the reasons for their existential entrapment, and, secondly, I determine whether Kierkegaard believes this to be an existential affliction that affects exclusively women, i.e., whether it is gendered or not.
