Description
The purpose of this study is to present an interpretation of Gottfried
Keller's novella Die drei gerechten Kammacher and to combine it
with a detailed analysis of the narrative technique and language of the
work.
Extensive research of relevant available literature indicates that
there has not been a detailed analytical study of this novella, although
it has frequently been described as one of the author's most creative
and imaginative works . A number of critics have raised interesting questions concerning the fatalistic and hopeless ending of the three combmakers. Others have criticized the language of the narrative, criticism
which will be considered in this thesis.
This thesis is divided into five sections : 1) Introduction; II)
Fundamentals of the novella: Genesis, Frame and Seldwyla; III) Interpretation of the novella; IV) Analysis of the Narrative Technique. These
chapters are followed by an analysis of the work in totality and conclusion
in which the above mentioned criticisms are given an evaluation.
