Femme fatale oder femme fragile : Die Darstellung der Frau bei Bernhard Schlink Der Vorleser und Uwe Timm Die Entdeckung der Currywurst / Femme fatale or femme fragile : The representation of women in the novels Der Vorleser, written by Bernhard Schlink and Die Entdeckung der Currywurst, written by Uwe Timm

This thesis examines the novels Die Entdeckung der Currywurst, written by the German author Uwe Timm in 1993 and Der Vorleser, written by the German author Bernhard Schlink in 1995. In each story the main protagonist is a woman. Incorporating the ideas of the feminist movement, the thesis focuses on the notion that the literary role of women does not coincide with realistic representations of women rather it derives from traditionally stereotypical images of a femme fatale or a femme fragile. The goal is to analyse the depiction of women as literary protagonists in both novels. Do they truly comply with the traditional images of feminism or are there certain traits that deviate?
