Abstract
Proverbs 7:6-23 — A poetic narrative A narrative in poetic form is a contradictio in terminus from the viewpoint of modern literary criticism. In this article the poetic narrative in Proverbs 7:6-23 is read from both the narrative and poetic angles, investigating the effect on the reader of this unexpected combination of two different literary genres in one literary unit.
Highlights
" ... literature is a time-art, in which the textual continuum is apprehended in a temporal continuum and things are presented sequentially rather than sim u lta n e o u sly".'’
"In comparison with the poetry of song, the language of story has its own mode of development and creates its own distinctive unity through linear movement."®’
Daar is egter 'n paar gevalle in die Bybel wear die twee literatuursoorte nie op mekaar volg nie, maar albei in dieselfde literêre eenheid gebruik word
Summary
" ... literature is a time-art, in which the textual continuum is apprehended in a temporal continuum and things are presented sequentially rather than sim u lta n e o u sly".'’. In die ontwikkeling van die verhaal gaan dit vir die vrou en die jong man al hoe meer om een gemeenskaplike doelwit, sodat die spanning wat daar kon wees tussen hulle gesigshoeke op die eienaardige patos uitloop van die een wat nie weet nie en die ander een wat in haar listigheid presies weet wat op die spel is, en wat saam in die metaforiese nag verdwyn.
