Sildig Opvaagnen
Blichers novelle "Sildig opvågnen" er ikke typisk for Blicher - den er li'som for international. Man kunne få den mistanke, at der er tale om en omarbejdning af en udenlandsk fortælling, f. eks. en fransk? Hvorom alting er, så er den, ligesom alt hvad Blicher har frembragt, værd at læse. Den har været filmatiseret med Ole Ernst i hovedrollen. Den handler om ægtemanden, der alt for sent opdager, hvad det er for en kvinde han i årevis har været gift med, hvilket får katastrofale følger.Vi har valgt at bringe den i sin originale form.

Steen Steensen Blicher (11 October 1782, Vium – 26 March 1848 in Spentrup) was an author and poet born in Vium near Viborg, Denmark.
Blicher was the son of a literarily inclined Jutlandic parson whose family was distantly related to Martin Luther[citation needed].
He grew up in close contact to nature and peasant life in the moor areas of Jutland. After trying his hand as a teacher and a tenant farmer, he at last became a parson like his father and from 1825-1847 served in the parish at Spentrup.
As a clergyman he is said to have been less than inspired. His main interests were hunting and writing. In 1842 he was accused of alcoholism and abandoned from a Cooperation of Danish writers. Many struggles with his superiors the following years led to his dismissal shortly before his death.
He had ten children, (seven sons and three daughters), with his wife Ernestine Juliane Berg whom he married on 11 June 1810.
Blicher is known as the pioneer of the novella in Danish]. From the 1820s until his death he wrote several tales that were published in local periodicals (mostly dealing with his home region), as well as historical and amateur scientific sketches. Much of this work is entertainment but as many as twenty or thirty pieces have been called masterpieces.
In these works he describes human fate in his home region in Jutland, He is often called a tragic and melancholic writer, but he is not without wit and humour.
He is one of the first novelists to make significant use of the unreliable narrator — theme in literature.

August 14, 2025oprigtigt en af de mest fyldestgørende værker at analysere og komme til bunds i.
viden om den dansk-litteraturhistoriske kontekst og en notesblok er derfor et must!

Blichers novelle “Sildig opvågnen” er historien om tre par i en provinsby, som er gode venner og uadskillelige i “Trianglen”. Doktoren er gift med Elise, som præsten som ganske ung har danset med - og fået et tryk i hånden af(!), skønt hun allerede da var hemmeligt forlovet med doktoren. Kaptajnen er gift med den muntre men barnløse Charlotte, der altid kan sætte fut i løjerne. Præsten, som fortæller historien er gift med en stille og beskeden kvinde. Han fortæller selv, at de tre forhold burde have været byttet rundt på, så doktorens kone burde være hans, kaptajnens kone doktorens og han egen kone burde være kaptajnens.
Præstens kone mener, at hun har set visse blikke, men præsten affærdiger hende. I virkeligheden har har set det ske foran sine egne øjne. Til et maskebal, hvor præsten ikke deltog men sad i en lænestol i et mørkt værelse pga migræne, så han - da en lysstråle rammer dem, kaptajnen sammen med doktorens kone. Både doktoren og kaptajnen var i musketerdragt den aften, mens deres koner var i forskellige dragter. Præsten så doktorens kone i tyrkerdragt, skønt det var kaptajnsfruens! Han afslører intet derom og årene går.
Pludselig bliver kaptajnen syg. I febervildelse tror han at se doktorens kone og siger til hende - i overværelse af sin kone og præsten - at hun skal gå, de må ikke længere ses. Senere flår han nogle breve frem, som hun har skrevet, og som doktoren nu får at læse. Hans kone var taget på landet, og nu læser han, at hun betror kaptajnen, at hun skal have barn med ham.
Doktoren skyder sig, og kaptajnen dør.
Morale? Ja, Blicher må mene, at han (gennem præsten) har et forvarsel om en utro kvinde, der bringer alle i fordærv. Ak ak!! Her må man sige, at tiden er gået!

Den var lidt svær at læse fordi det er gammel dansk, men jeg kom igennem.
Det med at de bruger forbogstaver gør det meget mere dramatisk og Spændende.
Vi skulle læse novellen som en del af danskundervisningen i påsken

A novel I read for school. Even though it's reeeeally old (written in 1828) I actually really enjoyed it.
