Some quotes:
About Leivick's Golem, performed in Moscow in 1925, Mendel Kohansky states, "the Golem is the revolution, a creature of violence. Like the revolution, he was created with good intentions, but, having found a life of his own, turned away from the intentions of his creator to embark on a rampage of senseless destruction." [p. 88]
"Here is the key to Meyrink's novel. The golem ulitimately symbolizes all those 'unruly ghosts and warring elements' deep within each man." [p. 115]
On Abraham Rothberg's novel: "If the golem is seen as representing the id, and the Hohe Rabbi Low the superego, then the external struggle of the Jews against the Gentiles can be viewed as the moral confrontation between Jewish idealism and historical necessity. ( )
