Affinities Affinities under bastard feudalism were collectives of gentry who follow and support a particular nobleman. Gentry members of affinities gave loyalty to their nobleman above loyalty to the king. Affinities were an integral part of the organization of society in England and Wales during the 15th century.
Elective Affinities In the book, people are described as chemical species whose amorous affairs and relationships were pre-determined via chemical affinities]] similar to the pairings of alchemical species. Goethe outlined the view that passion, marriage, conflict, and free will are all subject to the laws of chemistry and in which the lives of human species are regulated no differently from the lives of chemical species. Opinions over the years have been split as to whether Goethe's theory was used in metaphor.
Elective Affinities Francis Ford Coppola, in the grip of clinical manic depression and anxiety over his incomplete opus "Apocalypse Now", and while purportedly under the influence of his girlfriend, screenwriter Melissa Mathison, proposed making a "ten-hour film version of Goethe's "Elective Affinities", in 3D".
Elective Affinities In the novella, the central chemical reaction that takes place is a double displacement reaction (double elective affinity), between a married couple Eduard and Charlotte (BA), at the end of their first year of marriage (for each their second marriage), and their two good friends the Captain and Ottilie (CD), respectively. The first marriages, for both Eduard and Charlotte, are described as having been marriages of financial convenience, essentially arranged marriages. Specifically, when they were younger, Eduard was married off to a rich older woman through the workings and insatiable greed of his father; Charlotte, likewise, when her prospects were none the best, was compelled or obliged to marry a wealthy man, whom she did not love.
Elective Affinities This essay by Walter Benjamin, written around 1924-25, was described by Austrian critic Hugo von Hoffmannsthal, as "absolutely incomparable". It is renowned as an exemplary instance of Benjamin subjecting his literary subject matter to a process of intensive dialectical mediation. In the essay, which attacks Goethe's prose style and intentions, Benjamin argues for the possibility of the transcendence of mythic thinking (which he locates in the medium of Goethe's prose) in favour of the possibility of an as yet unencountered (and, in principle, unimaginable) "freedom". Typically, Benjamin locates this experience in art, which is, according to him, alone able, through mediation, to transcend the powers of myth.
