Heinrich v. Kleists Enträtselung der Person am Beispiel der Exposition seines Dramas Prinz Friedrich von Homburg

Öz Heinrich von Kleist's Solving of the Person on Exemple of his DramaPrinz Friedrich von HomburgKleist's exposition of his drama Prinz Friedrich von Homburg serves as an exampleto illustrate the changing perception from an interpersonal to a spatial-atmosphericperception at the beginning of the 19th century when coincidence suddenly beganto relativize everything.As a means against this relativization, which in the Homburg appears as an unsolvableriddle of a character, Kleist calls up the whole magic of the unity of thoughtand emotion and the inoffensiveness of the immediate. The analytical confinementto the exposition of Kleist's drama is due to the fact that in the exposition of a dramathe author's intention is revealed to its fullest, thus making the exposition the hardestpart of work for an author.Keywords: Heinrich von Kleist, Prinz Friedrich von Homburg, exposition, analyticdrama
