Reproduction Du Bateau Ivre D’Arthur Rimbaud : Rue Férou. In this paper, I will show you how and why The Drunken Boat can be read as an existentialist poem. Jean-Paul Sartre discusses a similar anguish in his essay Existentialism Is a Humanism through his debate on authenticity and accountability. In navigating the predicament that arises out of these three conflicting concepts, the boat becomes an embodiment of anguish. On the river, the narrator discovers freedom, anguish, and the burden of responsibility, which are the focuses of existentialism. The Drunken Boat employs an extended nautical metaphor to describe the journey of life, in which a personified boat serves as the narrator. Rimbaud presents an interpretation of life drawn from his childhood experiences and his first adventures in Paris as a young man of seventeen. A close reading of Rimbaud’s most famous poem, The Drunken Boat, does much to explain the existentialists’ affinity with this 19 th century poète maudit. His poetry, although it predated the movement by a century, was also a source of inspiration for existentialist thinkers such as Jean-Paul Sartre and others. Born in 1854, Arthur Rimbaud has been heralded as one of the greatest French poets of all time.
