A review by avajax
The Prince of Homburg by Heinrich von Kleist

1.0

Shit ass play, pardon my German. I got so bored reading Acts III and IV that it took multiple attempts to read all the way through. Here’s the link to my essay comparing it to A Personal Matter, I think this is the most interesting I could make The Prince of Homburg sound. Would a bootleg have helped? Yes. Would analyzing it in any other way than close reading (and not getting assigned 150 pages of *extra* material) help? Yes. Personally, I don’t think this play is worth the time in a Classics of World Literature class but that’s just how the cookie crumbles.
