Totenhochzeit

Totenhochzeit

by Nathaniel Hawthorne

Nathaniel Hawthorne, ein prominenter Vertreter der 'dunklen' amerikanischen Romantik, erkundet in 'Totenhochzeit' die düsteren Abgründe der menschlichen Psyche. Die Geschichte spielt in einer Atmosphäre voller Geheimnis und Unbehagen, die von Tod und Schuldgefühlen durchdrungen ist. Durch die Verwendung von Symbolen und Allegorien wirft Hawthorne ein grelles Licht auf die moralischen Konflikte und die zerstörerischen Folgen von verdrängten Gefühlen. Die Lektüre 'Totenhochzeit' ist ein tiefgründiges und beklemmendes Erlebnis, das den Leser bis ins Mark erschüttert.
