Giuseppe Verdi
AIDA
Why was this particular opera chosen for analysis? Firstly, because of the conflict of duty and passion (eros and power) at its core and, secondly, because of the very rigidly developing plot, like a fairy tale; This plot allows for conventions. Thirdly, although the opera is named after Aida, Aida is not the only protagonist: the states in which the hero becomes either the protagonist or the bearer of archetypal projections of other characters alternate very quickly, especially in the third and fourth acts.
