Answer from Yovet-Lana[guru]
The ballad of the famous German poet F. Schiller “The Glove” takes us to the era of noble knights and beautiful ladies. In the palace of the King of France they have fun watching the fight of animals in the arena. It turns out “a terrible lion with a thick mane in all its beauty.” Then the tiger boldly jumped out, but was afraid to catch the king of beasts. Two agile leopards attacked the tiger. He hits them with his heavy paw. A lion rises and they hear his mighty roar. And guests expect a spectacle. And suddenly a lady’s glove fell from the balcony down to the animals. Young beauty Cunegonde turns to her knight Delorge with the order to bring her a glove as a sign of his loyalty and love. A courageous knight goes and takes the glove and the animals do not rush at him. The young knight returns and throws his glove in the face of his chosen one, instead of lifting it with words of love. It seems that the glove ended up in the arena for a reason. Yuna the beauty decided to make a cruel joke, forgetting that she was exposing the knight to senseless mortal danger. Delorge could not refuse the challenge; it would call into question his courage. But he realized that Cunegonde did not truly love him, and his life was nothing to her. That’s why he left her, publicly showing his disdain. Although the plot of the ballad is based on a specific historical fact, which was copied by the writer Saintfoy, the idea of the work acquires a broad generalization - nothing can be more valuable than human life.

King Francis and his retinue sit waiting for the battle of the beasts. Next are the wild beasts that must fight. Here are “shaggy lion” and “brave tiger” and “two leopards”. But contrary to the expectations of the public, the animals were not going to fight, suddenly a woman’s glove falls from the balcony. The cruel and proud beauty demands that Delorge, as proof of his love for her, go and bring her glove. Delorge silently goes and brings her a glove, but he does not pay attention to either the applause of the audience or the welcoming glances of the beauty. Throwing the glove in her face, he says that he does not need a reward from her.

Answer from Kristina Khavilova[newbie]
A knight could declare a girl or woman from a noble family to be his Beautiful Lady, and in her honor he could perform at knightly tournaments, compose and perform songs. A knight who declared a girl or woman his Beautiful Lady swore an oath to serve her, fulfilling any of her desires.
Ladies, according to the customs of that time, favorably accepted the attention of knights.
I liked the work, it talks about the love between a lady and a knight. The beauty wanted to achieve this by sending the young man who loved her to the animals so that he would fulfill all her whims. Her words offended the knight; she did not believe in his love. The knight, “coldly accepting the greeting” of the beauty’s eyes, threw his glove in her face.
Friedrich Schiller shows that one cannot risk a person's life for the sake of some little thing.
Answer from Liudmila Sharukhia[guru]
The summary of the work can be divided into several scenes. Initially, the king and nobles gathered for the performance to watch the fight between wild animals. The first to be released into the arena was a huge lion, which soon lay down to the side. Then a brave tiger came out, but, seeing a stronger opponent, did not get involved in trouble. Two leopards ran out after them and attacked the striped animal, but the menacing roar of the lion forced them to step aside. But the nobility wanted to continue the bloody spectacle... By creating the ballad “The Glove,” Schiller wanted to emphasize human cruelty and heartlessness. Among the spectators, the young beauty Kinigunda shone, wanting to test the sincerity of the knight Delorge’s feelings for her, and at the same time have fun. The lady deliberately threw her glove into the arena, which fell right between the predators. Kinigund turns to the knight with an innocent request to bring the dropped item and thereby prove his devotion. Delorge understands that the beauty did this on purpose, but cannot refuse the request, because refusal would undermine his reputation. With the help of the ballad “The Glove,” Schiller wanted to draw the reader’s attention to how valuable human life is. The animals did not touch Delorge - he brought the glove to his lady, but he did not want her praise and recognition, because he realized that Kinigunda did not love him and did not appreciate his actions. Moreover, the glove flew into the arrogant beauty's face. The main meaning of the work is that nothing can be more valuable than a person’s life, and it is stupid to risk it for the whim of a spoiled girl.

Year of writing: 1797
Genre of the work: ballad
Main characters: Delorge- knight, Kinigunda- lady.
The ballad tells about medieval entertainment. Spectators of different ranks gather to watch the battle of wild animals in the arena. First the lion comes out, then the tiger. Next, two leopards appear in the arena. Animals are careful. Then the brilliant lady Kinigunda decides to have even more fun. She throws down the gauntlet directly to the animals. And he asks the knight Delorge to bring it as a sign of love. He cannot refuse, as this would discredit him. Therefore, the young man went down to the animals and picked up the glove unharmed. They felt the character of Delorge. The glove was delivered to the lady, and she was extremely happy. But the knight refused to accept the reward - a kiss - and threw the glove in Kinigunda's face.
Human life should be highly valued. The capricious beauty did not understand this. For her, her loved one was not important, but entertainment and her own ego were more important. So she showed that she does not experience true love. It is important to value the feelings of people close to us.

Living glove
Once upon a time there lived a knight, fierce and cruel. So ferocious that everyone was afraid of him, everyone - both his own and strangers. When he appeared on a horse in the middle of the street or in the city square, people ran away in different directions, the streets and squares became empty. And the people had something to fear from the knight! As soon as someone got caught on his road at an unkind hour, accidentally crossed his path, and in the blink of an eye the ferocious knight would trample the unfortunate man to death under the hooves of his horse or pierce him through with his heavy, sharp sword.
Tall, thin, with eyes that threw out flames, with sullenly knitted eyebrows and a face twisted with anger, he terrified everyone. In moments of anger, he knew no mercy, became terrible and invented the most severe punishments both for those who were the cause of his anger and for those who accidentally caught his eye at that time. But it was useless to complain to the king about the fierce knight: the king valued his fierce knight because he was a skilled commander, more than once at the head of the royal troops he won victories over enemies and conquered many lands. That is why the king highly valued the fierce knight and allowed him something that he would not allow to anyone else. And other knights and warriors, although they did not love the fierce knight, appreciated his courage, intelligence and devotion to the king and country...
The battle was nearing its end.
A fierce knight, clad in golden armor, rode on horseback between the ranks of troops, inspiring his tired and exhausted warriors.
This time the battle was very hard and difficult. The warriors fought for the third day under the command of a fierce knight, but victory was not given to them. The enemies who attacked the royal lands had more troops. Another minute or two, and the enemy would undoubtedly have prevailed and burst straight into the royal castle.
In vain the ferocious knight appeared here and there on the battlefield and, with threats and entreaties, tried to force his warriors to gather their last strength to drive away the enemies.
Suddenly the knight's horse darted to the side, noticing an iron glove on the ground, the kind that almost all knights wore at that time. The fierce knight gave spurs to his horse, wanting to force him to jump over the gauntlet, but the horse did not move. Then the knight ordered the young squire to pick up the glove and give it to himself. But as soon as the knight touched it, the glove, as if alive, jumped out of his hand and fell to the ground again.
The knight ordered it to be served again - and the same thing happened again. Not only that: falling to the ground, the iron glove moved like a living hand; her fingers moved convulsively and unclenched again. The knight ordered it to be raised from the ground again and this time, holding it tightly in his hand, he rushed to the front ranks of his troops, shaking his glove in the air. And every time he raised his glove high, the fingers of the glove either clenched or unclenched again, and at that very moment, as if on a signal, the troops rushed at the enemy with renewed vigor. And wherever the knight appeared with his glove, his tired and exhausted warriors seemed to come to life and rush at the enemy with redoubled force. Only a few minutes passed, and the enemies fled, and the messengers of the fierce knight began to trumpet victory...
Proud and triumphant, the knight now circled the ranks of his tired, exhausted fighters, asking who owned the strange glove, but no one had seen such a glove before, no one knew where it came from...
At any cost, the fierce knight decided to find out who the strange glove belonged to, and began to travel around all the cities, all the villages and villages, shaking his find in the air, asking whose glove it was. The owner of the living glove was nowhere to be found. In one city a little boy came across a fierce knight and said:
I heard from my grandfather that old Maab lives in the forest. She knows all the secrets of the world and will probably be able to tell you the meaning of the living glove, knight.
Let's go to her! - was a stern order, and, spurring his horse, the fierce knight rushed towards the forest. The obedient retinue rushed after him.
The old woman Maab lived in the thicket of a deep, dark forest. She could barely move from decrepitude. When she saw the glove, her eyes lit up, like bright torches in the darkness of the night, and she turned purple with delight.
“Great happiness has fallen into your hands, noble knight,” she said in a dull voice. - Not all people come across such a treasure! This living glove is the glove of victory... Fate deliberately threw it in your path. You just have to put it on your hand, and victory will always be yours!
The fierce knight beamed with happiness, put a glove on his hand, generously rewarded Maab with gold and rushed out of the dense forest to the royal capital.
A week has passed.
We don’t hear anything about the knight’s usual cruel tricks, we don’t hear that he executed anyone in a fit of anger, we don’t hear that he offended anyone.
Blood still flowed so clumsily around the fierce knight like a river, groans were heard, and crying was heard. And now?
True, a week ago a knight tried to hit one of the passers-by with his sword. But suddenly his hand, convulsively clenched by the living fingers of the glove, dropped, and the heavy sword fell to the ground with a ringing sound.
The knight wanted to throw off the annoying glove from his hand, but he remembered in time that it would give him victory, and he held on.
Another time the knight wanted to direct his horse towards the crowd of people surrounding him, and again the living fingers of the glove squeezed his hand painfully, and he could not move them to control the horse. From that very moment the knight realized that it was useless to go against the living glove, that it, this glove, kept him from the most cruel acts. And he stopped drawing his sword from its sheath to kill innocent people.
And people were no longer afraid to go out of their houses into the streets while a fierce knight was passing through them.
They now appeared on his path without fear and praised the knight for his victories over his enemies.
The war broke out again...
For a long time now, the king’s distant neighbor, the ruler of a rich country, had captivated the knight’s eyes. And he said to his king:
Look! Your distant neighbor is richer than you, and although you swore to him eternal friendship and peace, if you defeat him and appropriate his possessions, you will become the most powerful and richest king in the world.
The king obeyed the words of his favorite. “The knight is right,” thought the king, “I will conquer my neighbor’s country and become rich from his wealth!” And he ordered the trumpet to sound for a new campaign.
“The Glove” by Schiller you will remember the brief content of the ballad in this article.
King Francis and his retinue gathered to watch the battle of the beasts.
The “shaggy lion” enters the arena on the orders of the king, but he behaves calmly and is not afraid of anything. Afterwards, the king orders more wild animals to be released into the arena. A “brave tiger” runs into the arena, but looking at the power and calmness of the lion, he sits down quietly and does not attack him. The crowd, of course, in anticipation of the massacre, begins to make noise displeasedly and watch what will happen next. Then two handsome leopards fly out and rush at the tiger, the crowd, enthusiastically exclaiming in anticipation of the massacre, is about to begin, but no. The loud roar of the lion again made the animals calm down, and they dispersed.
Contrary to the expectations of the public, the animals were not going to fight. Suddenly a woman's glove falls from the balcony. The young and beautiful princess Cunegonde deliberately threw her glove. The cruel and proud beauty demands that Delorge, as proof of his love for her, go and bring her glove.
Year: 1797 Genre: ballad
Main characters: knight Delorge and lady Kinigunda.
Royal subjects gathered to watch the battle of wild animals from the safety of high balconies. To their great amazement, one fearless knight descended directly into the circle of predators to pick up a glove dropped by one of the ladies. But the loss was not accidental, but intentional. The lady wanted to experience his power of love. But no matter how much he loves, he will not become her slave, so he throws the gauntlet in her face. No reciprocity is worth knightly honor.
The main idea. The poem ridicules the demonstrative behavior of a person spoiled by male attention, who wants to receive confirmation of love even at the cost of the life of the knight in love with her.
The poem begins with a description of the bored court under the French king. This is high society, which has gathered to watch the battle of wild predators in an impromptu menagerie. The royal subjects are so cynical and self-satisfied that they are ready to witness with curiosity not only the death of innocent animals, but also their own kind.
One of the court ladies, apparently a recognized beauty, deliberately throws her glove down, right onto the gladiatorial court, where a lion, a tiger and leopards are already walking around. After which she turns to the young man who is in love with her (secretly or openly, the poet is silent about this) and asks him to bring her the lost wardrobe item. Everyone looks at him and waits for a reaction.
This is a public challenge that the knight cannot leave unanswered, according to the rules of those times and morals. He goes down to the wild animals, trusting his life to God and providence, picks up the glove and returns. Animals don't touch it.
The young man rises to the front of the meeting and becomes a hero. His calm deed makes a great impression on those present. They applaud him. The beauty is also among those applauding. With her glance, she lets him know that he has won her heart, and now he can count on her favor.
But the knight sees the provocation and complete disregard for his life. He doesn't need that kind of love. He forgets about the rules of decency and throws the girl her glove right in the face with the words “I don’t want a reward.” She has nothing to answer him. Instead of the triumph of victory, she is forced to experience shame.
