Existential conflict in the agony of the poet of Rolando Steiner

Abstract

Steiner shows in his theatrical work and specifically in this work that we analyze a concern  for the creative work of the artist and a permanent interior loneliness. We interpret the existential conflict of the main character
(Felix) considering that the existentialists raised problems related to the meaning of life, choice, personal responsibility and the destiny of man and that the existential ontological phenomenon is the product of those internal conflicts of the environment and the beings that accompanied the poet throughout his life. The vision of
the world embodied in the work The Agony of the Poet, corresponds to the vision of the author who from the religious point of view presents a Felix, fearful of the unexpected, the anguish of living, the uncertainty of the unknown and what there is after death. The protagonist experiences these two vital moments of being: permanence and death. The first one means to perpetuate oneself through the ideal and passion that for him was his life project, poetry and the second death, as an inescapable fact of anguishing reality in which he has no choice or power to decide on his destiny.
