It’s not bad but tense and reading it as a lecture in school didn’t had a good impact on my opinion  on this book. In general it’s depressing how almost no one notices his mental health problems and the only person: the doctor, who does notices and could do something about it, only sees his career chance and therefore decides to be contra productive and gives the antihero (woyzeck) even more peas to eat which made him hallucinate. It shows the unfair conditions of the rich, influential in contrast to the poor ones that are in a inescapable position.
