Mann's Man Of Straw
[ send me this paper ]
A history book will tell the reader about the rise of nationalism in the Kaiserreich as a prelude to the rampant anti-Semitism of the post World War I era. These are just words that have a two dimensional meaning: time and place. If people, or the social atmosphere of both individuals and movements, is added, the depth of understanding increases as the reader incorporates the pieces of human nature that they see as part of themselves. This 7 page paper asserts that Heinrich Mann's Man Of Straw utilizes the development of one character: Diederich Hessling, to reflect the society in which he lived, enabling the reader insights not available through conventional histiography. No additional sources are listed.
