In Buchner’s ‘Lenz’, the protagonist is portrayed as a fallen man, disjointed from society and mentally unstable. Buchner’s portrays Lenz’s fall into madness in his narrative style, the use of realisation and the use of nature. Moreover, one can evaluate their effectiveness in portraying Lenz’s descent into madness. By examining Buchner’s narrative style, one can see that it is dissimilar to other German Romantics. Where Von Kleist seems journalistic in ‘The Marchioness of O..’ the narrative
Finally, one can argue that ‘with these[…] displacements Buchner would have created the thoroughly mad text’ that was highly effective because it subverted the traditional literary values for narration and allows one a deeper portrayal of Lenz’s madness. However, the narrative style is not Buchner’s only method
about in order for the show to flow in a way that will keep audience members engaged. The show must be true to the script, be pleasing to the eye, offer dynamic characters, and be accessible to the public. In order, for a production of Woyzeck by Georg Buchner to be produced certain decisions must be made early on. This is due to the incompleteness of the play. In Buchner’s play, the main character of Woyzeck and his family are marginalized to an insane degree. They are crushed by the world around them

Spiritual Murder in Georg Buchner's Woyzeck Throughout dramatic history, tragedies have depicted a hero's humanity being stripped from him. Usually, as in Shakespeare's classic paradigms, we see the hero, whether King Lear or Othello, reduced from his original noble stature to nothingness and death. Yet Georg Buchner's fragmentary play Woyzeck shows us a protagonist already stripped of humanity, transformed into and treated as an animal. Indeed, Woyzeck, far from being a simple
After reading through Doctor Johann Christian August Clarus’s legal accountability on Johann Woyzeck one manages to immerse themselves in Clarus’s thoughts on Woyzeck and whether or not he is accountable for the murder he committed. Throughout Clarus’s report, I received such biased thoughts that it became hard to keep moving on. Managing to continue on with the report, it became very clear very fast that Clarus believes in an eye for an eye, or in this case, punishment for crime above all else.
When brainstorming for my Binge Watching Project (BWP), I worked backwards. While most people thought of TV shows or movies they enjoyed and tried to think of projects to fit those shows. I first thought of my project and then found a show to fit what I wanted to do. This stemmed from my original idea for the creative project being creating a political campaign for one character from a series. I chose this due to my love of characters and my passion for politics. I settled on Grace and Frankie as
One of the most important ideas upon which Descartes’s proof of the existence of God rests is that rational minds face constraints. While God is the absolute infinite, humans and other beings exist with limitations on their actions. One of these limitations is human intellect, which Descartes names as one component of the cause of our tendency toward error as humans. The finite nature of human intellect, he argues, combines with an infinite will which causes us to seek an understanding of phenomena
Aristotle supported the idea of “potential infinity” but refuted the idea of “actual infinity”. He defined potential infinity by saying if you are counting natural numbers, logic would tell us that we can always add one to the previous number and that can potentially go on forever. He also said that we could potentially use this logic in geometry if we imagined a line that extended beyond both points with no recognizable end. On the contrary, actual infinity seems paradoxical because even if we had
A famous German mathematician, Georg Cantor is known for discovering and building a hierarchy of infinite sets according to their cardinal numbers. He is also known for inventing the Cantor set, which is now a fundamental theory in mathematics. Georg Ferdinand Ludwig Philipp Cantor was born on March 3, 1845 in Saint Petersburg, Russia, to Georg Waldemar Cantor and Maria Anna Bohm. His father was a German Protestant and his mother was Russian Roman Catholic. Cantor was brought up as a staunch Protestant
