Abstract: This paper explores the character of Herzeloyde in Wolfram von Eschenbach’s ‘Parzival’ from a temporal and spatial perspective. Herzeloyde’s simultaneous experience of her husband Gahmuret’s death and the birth of her son, Parzival, leads to a temporal boundarylessness, preventing her from transitioning from the role of a wife to that of a widow. Thus, she has to flee into a heterotopy, namely, the solitude of Soltâne. Using concepts of liminality, the paper delves into Herzeloyde’s struggle to embrace her new role. The analysis focuses on the intertwining factors of temporality, space, embodiment, widowhood, and motherhood within the character of Herzeloyde.
