November 4, 2023Es ist ein Buch, welches die Liebe aus männlicher Perspektive auf eine doch sehr sensible Art und Weise beschreibt. Zudem webt Hesse unterschwellig interessante philosophische Gedanken und introspektive Betrachtungen in die Handlungen. Allerdings: Während Hesse meisterhaft die inneren Konflikte und Sehnsüchte seiner Hauptfigur darstellt, kommt man nicht umhin, die begrenzte Vielfalt und Perspektiven in seinem Werk zu bemerken. Besonders sitzen geblieben ist ein Satz gleich im ersten Abschnitt des Buches. Ein junger Mann der nicht versteht, warum Frauen es schwerer haben als Männer. Im Großen und Ganzen bleiben die weiblichen Charaktere und sozialen Aspekte oft unterentwickelt oder stereotypisch. Sei es jedoch historisch bzw. in Werken zu Beginn des 20. Jahrhunderts Standard zu betrachten.
