| Beschreibung: | |
| A significant number of Schnitzlers male characters, from the early Anatol to the late Falkenir (Komödie der Verführung), behave in a way that can readily be termed as cowardly. This behavior involves both literal fleeing and a simple avoidance of what a character may deem to be an unpleasant or deleterious situation. Another aspect of this behavior demonstrated by a number of characters, particularly by Dr. Gräsler (Doktor Gräsler, Badearzt), suffer from the sort of paralysis – the inability to act in ones own or another persons best interest – that seems to inform much of twentieth century literature. Regardless of the form their cowardice takes, the characters end up alone, unable to connect to another human being. | |
