The article inquires into the romantic implications in Twin Peaks. Special Agent Dale Cooper’s path is interpreted in terms of a romantic development, with Novalis’ artist novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen and its motif of the blue flower, which is intertextually referenced by Lynch, serving as a reference point. Just as Novalis creates a poetic story of redemption with Klingsohr’s Fairy Tale, Cooper’s effort in the Laura Palmer murder case is to be understood as a fairy-tale-like rescue attempt, in which both the crime is atoned for and evil itself is to be banished from the world.

摘要

The article inquires into the romantic implications in Twin Peaks. Special Agent Dale Cooper’s path is interpreted in terms of a romantic development, with Novalis’ artist novel Heinrich von Ofterdingen and its motif of the blue flower, which is intertextually referenced by Lynch, serving as a reference point. Just as Novalis creates a poetic story of redemption with Klingsohr’s Fairy Tale, Cooper’s effort in the Laura Palmer murder case is to be understood as a fairy-tale-like rescue attempt, in which both the crime is atoned for and evil itself is to be banished from the world.
