Gottfried Keller's Romeo and Juliet in the village
The amendment I have only recently read it before. Now I have it but read in the light of new aspects again.
I read it today as an amendment to the typical bourgeois realism. The individual is in a conflict the company, creates and will not break, because the bourgeois values to very internalized sind.das is typical of the realism. It is not about revolution, but fail to convert the.
Keller was inspired by a newspaper report, which he then expanded accordingly literature:
Saxony. - Altsellerhausen in the village, of Leipzig, a boy loved a girl of 19 and 17 years, both children of poor people who lived but in a deadly enmity, and not in a union of the couple agree wanted. On 15 August went all the lovers in a husbandry, where people enjoyed themselves poor, danced there till night 1 clock, and then went away. In the morning they found the bodies of the two lovers are on the field, they had shot himself through the head.
The suicide is not glorified. There were other solutions without damaging the honor as to be deprived of love. was triggered
the whole dilemma of the greedy farmers, so that the industrialization and the pursuit of power is also indirectly criticized. It blocks the happiness of the children.
