Mutter und Kind: Ein Gedicht in sieben Gesängen
Produced by Michael Pullen. HTML version by Al Haines.
"Mutter und Kind: Ein Gedicht in sieben Gesängen" by Friedrich Hebbel is a poetic work written in the mid-19th century. The book delves into the themes of motherhood, familial bonds, and the struggles of the lower class, likely focusing on characters in a dramatic narrative that unfolds through its cantos. The opening of the piece introduces a vivid scene on Christmas Eve, where the stark reality of life for the working class is highlighted through the interactions between Christian and Magdalena. As they prepare for the holiday in the kitchen, their dialogue reveals a tapestry of emotions—hope, love, and the harshness of their circumstances. Christian grapples with the hardships faced by his friend Wilhelm, who is struggling in poverty, while contemplating his own future and aspirations. Magdalena’s concern for Christian and their shared dream of bettering their lives encapsulates both their resilience and vulnerability amidst the societal challenges they encounter. This compelling mix of personal and societal struggles sets the stage for a deeper exploration of what it means to be a parent and to nurture hope amidst despair.
