Abstract
This paper explores the role of the Yiddish Magelene[1] adaptation within the European narrative tradition. In order to uncover seemingly minor changes and expose the original agenda of this adaptation, this paper offers a close reading of the text through the lens of Spinoza ’s Ethics, suggesting that the text exhibits a more individualized worldview by offering an insight into the internal processes of the protagonists. This paper seeks to track these changes in the text’s construction of subjectivity with regard to affects and the figures’ reflection on them.
