Langkau and the Online Distributed Proofreading Team at https://www.pgdp.net "Der Widerspenstigen Zähmung" by Karl Ettlinger is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story revolves around Adolf Borges, a timid and kindhearted shop assistant, who finds himself caught in an unyielding marriage with the fierce and domineering Katharina. The narrative explores themes of love, marriage, and the dynamics of power in relationships, presenting a humorous yet poignant portrayal of domestic life. The opening of this novel introduces the reader to the primary character, Adolf Borges, who reflects on his rather dismal life as a shop assistant, dominated by both his work and his fiery wife, Katharina. Adolf is depicted as a gentle soul, whose blue eyes and timid demeanor contrast sharply with Katharina's fierce personality, likened to a dragon. As Adolf navigates his mundane existence and the challenges of his marriage, his thoughts reveal underlying feelings of frustration, helplessness, and a longing for a happier life. The relationship dynamics are laid bare, with Adolf's self-deprecating humor and introspective monologues painting a vivid picture of his internal struggles and unfulfilled dreams amidst the chaos of his domestic life.
