Abstract
The topic of the tragedy ‘Ein Bruderzwist in Habsburg’ by Franz Grillparzer is the turn of two historical epochs. The older one, positively seen epoch, whose attributes are the divine right of kings and universalism, is represented by the aging Emperor Rudolf. The new one, negatively viewed epoch, which is coming to the fore and whose attributes are individualism and particularism, is represented by several figures, including the emperor’s brother Matthias and his confidant, Cardinal Klesel. The aim of this study is to analyse the relationship between Matthias and Klesel and to show how the boundary between the master and his servant is blurred in this relationship.
