Das Unnatürliche im Blonden Eckbert: ein Ringen aus Begehren und Schuld
Journal Title: Lublin Studies in Modern Languages and Literature - Year 2018, Vol 42, Issue 2
Abstract
The sibling incest is an aspect that does not fit into the realistic (conscious), nature-related, or unreal (magical) action levels of this literary fairy tale. The reason for this unnatural sexuality may lie in the abnormally stunted forms of the desires and guilt exhibited by Bertha and Eckbert: unconscious versus purposeful striving and ethical versus moral culpability. This article argues that only during their unnatural deaths in the respectively “wrong” realms does each partner gain the missing attributes so that their natural and normal existence is paradoxically – and romantically! – restored
