'Totenhochzeit' Summary
In 'Totenhochzeit' erzählt Hawthorne die Geschichte eines Mannes, der von Schuldgefühlen geplagt wird, nachdem er unbeabsichtigt den Tod eines jungen Mädchens verursacht hat. Er versucht, sein Vergehen zu verbergen, doch der Geist des Mädchens verfolgt ihn unaufhaltsam. Die Geschichte nimmt eine düstere Wendung, als der Mann sich in einem Strudel aus Verzweiflung und Wahnsinn wiederfindet. Die Totenhochzeit selbst stellt eine symbolische Handlung dar, die die unheilvollen Folgen der Unterdrückung von Gefühlen und der Leugnung von Schuld betont. Durch die eindringliche Darstellung von Schuld, Tod und Verzweiflung erforscht Hawthorne die dunkle Seite der menschlichen Natur und hinterfragt die Grenzen zwischen Realität und Fiktion.Book Details
