THE SYSTEM OF MOTIVES IN A POEM BY MIKLÓS RADNÓTI SOME IDEAS ON FORCED MARCH (ERŐLTETETT MENET) DR. LÁSZLÓ LISZTÖCZKY The essay analyses the last great lyric synthesis of Miklós Radnóti. The author's central idea is that the poem Forced March is a parable of universal human existence as well as an exposure of fascism, a description of the fate of the prisoners and a personal confession — all at the same time. The poet tried what is nearly impossible: to create an artistic harmony between death and idyll, between the antinomies of destruction and creation. All the formal elements serve to dissolve this tension. Starting with total distress the ideas proceed as if with the dialectics of thesis-antithesis-synthesis towards the final line expressing the will to live. After the arguments of hopelessness and the recalling of home in the conditional the symbol of the moon pushes the poem on to the hopeful ending: the poet has preserved his faith in the possibility of a more humane life even in the debased world of fascism, in the vicinity of „hideous death". .160
