Dieses Buch hat mich die meiste Zeit über  wütend gemacht. Von  sexistischen Aussagen bis hin zu problematischen Erziehungsmethoden ist alles dabei. Man muss die Werke zwar im Kontext ihrer Zeit betrachten, jedoch ist zu kritisieren, dass Stereotype und diskriminierende Inhalte reproduziert werden. 
Das Drama ließ sich insgesamt schnell lesen, da die Spannung gehalten wurde. Aber auch das liegt daran, dass  Dinge, die mit den Figuren passieren, aus den unzumutbaren Lebensumständen resultieren.
Ich konnte der Geschichte nichtsdestotrotz etwas abgewinnen. Der Stil hat mich rein sprachlich überzeugt und die behandelte Gesellschaftskritik ist sehr nachhaltig vermittelt worden. Bei dem Gedanken daran, dass Werke wie diese mit Schüler*innen gelesen werden, bekommen ich dennoch etwas Bauchweh. Es erfordert sehr viel Zeit, Nervengold und Arbeit, um den Stoff vermitteln zu können und dabei sensibel ein Bewusstsein für all die Probleme zu schaffen. Mehr Arbeit und Zeit, als oft zur Verfügung steht.

✨4.25/5✨
There's... a lot to unpack with my reading of Spring Awakening. Reflective, this edition grasps the reader whole into a vat, seemingly, of social issues—because the read is filled with them. Although short as it might seem, this is a heavy book, grotesque in its fashion, slapping the reader of reality which so often eludes them. A great book, certainly, but one I still want to digest for quite a while before opening again.
