Commentary Toward Books Die Räuber
Mit seinem 1781 erschienenen leidenschaftlichen Drama der Selbtstzerstörung einer Familie machte Schiller bei der Uraufführung am Mannheimer Nationaltheater 1782 Sensation. Fortan galt er den Zeitgenossen als ein deutscher Shakespeare. Die Themen und Motive des Sturm-und-Drang-Stücks blieben für Schiller bis zu seinen letzen klassischen Werken verbindlich und haben bis heute nichts von ihrer Faszination verloren.

There's a scene where Amalia pretends to hug the man who's trying to marry her against her will, steals his sword, threatens to kill him and chases him away. That was fun.I really thought I would love this, but didnt! Well, I did, insofar as it is the absurd, idealistic, raging play of an absurd, idealistic, raging youth, and is delightful in its naïveté. But I cant help thinking of the magnificent later Schiller, the Schiller of Maria Stuart and Die Jungfrau von Orleans, compared to which this play is a bit ranty. Still, some wonderful moments, and I wish I could have been there in the theatre in the 1780s when it reduced grown ups to tears and inspired hoards
Sometimes obscure, but very original and lovable,

"The Robbers" is a very strange play. Plays by their nature are very talky, but this one has long monologues without a lot of action at the start. There is more "drama" at the end. In his preface, Schiller acknowledges the dramatic problems of the play as he says he meant it as a dramatic prose piece rather than a full-blown stage play.The other strangeness in this play is that Schiller up-ends our expectations, set by Shakespeare and other classic tragedians, of finding our initial assessments
(6/10) The Robbers reads like someone's -- Friedrich von Schiller's, if the cover's to be trusted -- attempt to make a German version of Shakespeare. There are eloquent philosophical speeches and sometimes ecstatic language, characters that swear eternal vengeance on each other, and a tragic ending in which everything ends up covered in blood. But it's a bit more abstract and a bit more grim than the Bard, and seems a bit more like one of his contemporaries, perhaps a classed-up version of one
One should not have a Francis as a brother. Cunning, calculating, cruel, miserable. Charles on the other hand, a thief but a good man all the same.Old Moor, what a sad old man.The book is full of drama. There are a few surprises. I didn't think, Francis with his cruelty and cunning would so easily kill himself. And it inexplicable that Charles kills Amelia his love on the behest of the robbers.
I wish I had first read this years ago when I was writing my undergraduate dissertation on The Brothers Karamazov. Dostoevsky explicitly has old man Karamazov refer to Dmitri and Ivan as the two sons from the play, a not entirely fair comparison but perhaps the novel is Dostovesky's translation of the family dynamic and the rejection of society from Schiller's play into his own world vision.Books are invariably in more complex relationships with each other, and I felt if the Karamazovs were
