Summary "De Gouden Vaas" by E. T. A. Hoffmann is a fantastical tale written in the early 19th century. This novel combines elements of romance and the supernatural, following the journey of a student named Anselmus as he navigates a world filled with enchantments and unexpected twists, ultimately intertwined with themes of love and transformation. The opening of this work introduces us to Anselmus, who is depicted as a hapless student stumbling through various comedic misadventures in Dresden. After a surprising encounter with an old woman that leads to a series of unfortunate events, he finds himself reflecting on his misfortunes and longing for a more fulfilling life. He again crosses paths with mystical elements when he hears whispers and sees three glimmering green serpents, which create an intoxicating connection representing his innermost desires. The narrative sets the stage for an exploration of Anselmus's inner longing for beauty and transcendence as he embarks on a journey that will challenge his perceptions of reality and love.
