| Résumé: | The present article wishes to question and complicate the longestablished portrayal of Johannes the seducer as an unambiguously evil character. After a careful psycho-existential analysis of his personality, I will draw attention to his fundamentally contradictory nature. Next, turning to his relation to Cordelia, I will indicate different existential possibilities available to her after the traumatic experience of seduction. The article ends with a multifaceted hypothesis about the kind of selfhood Johannes may embody in Kierkegaard’s philosophical universe. |
