WAS BEDEUTET FLATTERING AUF ENGLISCH

Schmeichelei

Flattery

Schmeichelei ist die Tat, übertriebene Komplimente zu geben, in der Regel für den Zweck, sich mit dem Thema zu begnügen. Historisch gesehen wurde Schmeichelei als Standardform des Diskurses verwendet, wenn man einen König oder eine Königin anruft. In der Renaissance war es eine gängige Praxis unter den Schriftstellern, den amtierenden Monarchen zu schmeicheln, als Edmund Spenser die Königin Elisabeth I. in der Faerie Queene schmeichelte. William Shakespeare schmeichelte König James I. in Macbeth und Niccolò Machiavelli schmeichelte Lorenzo II de 'Medici, Herrscher von Florenz Und Herzog von Urbino, im Fürsten. Schmeichelei wird auch in Pick-up-Linien verwendet, wenn man versucht, romantische Balz zu initiieren. Die meisten Verbände mit Schmeichelei sind jedoch negativ. Negative Beschreibungen der Schmeichelei reichen mindestens so weit zurück in die Geschichte wie die Bibel. In der göttlichen Komödie zeigt Dante Schmeichler, die in menschlichen Exkrementen waten, und erklären, dass ihre Worte das Äquivalent von Exkrementen im 8. Kreis der Hölle waren. Ein unaufrichtiger Schmeichler ist ein Charakter in vielen literarischen Werken. Beispiele sind Wormtongue von J. R. R. Tolkiens Der Herr der Ringe, Goneril und Regan von König Lear und Iago aus Othello.

Flattery is the act of giving excessive compliments, generally for the purpose of ingratiating oneself with the subject. Historically, flattery has been used as a standard form of discourse when addressing a king or queen. In the Renaissance, it was a common practice among writers to flatter the reigning monarch, as Edmund Spenser flattered Queen Elizabeth I in The Faerie Queene, William Shakespeare flattered King James I in Macbeth and Niccolò Machiavelli flattered Lorenzo II de' Medici, ruler of Florence and Duke of Urbino, in The Prince. Flattery is also used in pick-up lines when attempting to initiate romantic courtship. Most associations with flattery, however, are negative. Negative descriptions of flattery range at least as far back in history as The Bible. In the Divine Comedy, Dante depicts flatterers wading in human excrement, stating that their words were the equivalent of excrement, in the 8th Circle of Hell. An insincere flatterer is a stock character in many literary works. Examples include Wormtongue from J. R. R. Tolkien's The Lord of the Rings, Goneril and Regan from King Lear, and Iago from Othello.
