Abstract

The article is an attempt of interpreting On the Marionette Theatre by H. v. Kleist. Kleist as a writer uses the principle of paradox and coincidence in his work. The claim that a marionette possesses more grace than a man is, according to the author of this text, also a paradox consciously applied by Kleist. It mostly concerns the phenomenon of human grace, which is a manifestation of the spiritual state of a person. The author also draws attention to the reception of Kant’s philosophy and Schiller’s aesthetics, out of which Kleist drew radical conclusions.
