I read Maria Magdalena in a German literature class about 40 years ago and found it grimly realistic. The other two plays are historical dramas I have not read before, but more the kind of thing I prefer. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Judith: Based on the deuterocanonical Book of Judith, Hebbel's adaptation presents a heroine who oversteps the boundaries of proper womanhood as defined by his 19th-century upbringing. Changing the political plot of the biblical story into a psychological investigation, he invests Judith with a sexuality and beauty that prove fatal to the men around her: she is left a virgin on her wedding night because her beauty (or so she believes) renders her husband Manasses impotent, and in Holofernes's tent, she subconsciously exercises her repressed sexual desire, leading Holofernes to rape her so that she can subsequently behead him. "Holofernes prefigures the misogynist ideology of the fin-de-siecle", and while Judith resists the traditional female role she is given, she cannot transcend its restrictions.
Herod and Mariamne: One of the most profound and moving tragedies of German literature.
Gyges and his ring: Probably his most mature and subtle work, shows Hebbel's predilection for involved psychological problems. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
