Text in German / Summary in English / Max Frisch's work centres around the question of authenticity of the individual, of
true self-identity. It is difficult and problematic if ever possible to discover the true
inner self. Stereotypical thinking, prejudice as well as societal demands, rules
and norms are great obstacles in the way for attaining this goal. Frisch's
protagonists fail in one or another way.
The emphasis lies therefore not in the answer but rests on the questions as to
why and how failure occurred and contemplate possible alternatives. The
message is: the task is arduous, never completed. The goal lies in the process
rather than in the end. It is a continuous struggle, appraisal and renewal
resulting in raising awareness and consciousness and thus find more true and
independent solutions.
Frisch's work is an appeal to the public to take charge, to exercise one's choices
wisely and to act with love and responsibility / Classics & Modern European Languages / M. A. (German)
