Comparison of Heinrich Heine and Gunter Grass
[ send me this essay ]
A 5 page paper discussing classic works by these German authors. Both Heine and Grass portray a dark and nearly hopeless Germany in their works. Heine's Deutschland, a Winter's Tale is older than Grass' The Tin Drum by more than 100 years, a century in which Germany rose to command world attention twice. Grass portrays a Germany with much similarity to that of Heine's time. Heine was threatening and ominous in much of his epic-length verse. He was able to see ahead on Germany's then-current path; Grass looked back along that path in the other direction. Bibliography lists 5 sources.
