Fathers and daughters in German literature

Pre-University Paper from the year 2009 in the subject Didactics - German - Literature, Works, grade: 1,0, Secondary School Neubiberg, language: English, abstract: Based on the four works 'Emilia Galotti', 'Miss Sara Sampson', 'Maria Magdalena' and 'Homo Faber' various father-daughter relationships in German literature are examined in this thesis, which was awarded top marks. In each of the works, the daughter figure tragically dies. Although I did not intentionally choose the four books for this reason at first, I found the motive so interesting that I stuck with my choice.
