The Composition of the Monodrama Proserpina.

- Abstract
This paper analyses the composition of the most representative German monodrama of the 18th century, Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's Proserpina. Our aim is to prove that this play within a play is a typical example of monodrama, a minor but important dramatic genre that flourished in Goethe's age. For this purpose, we will focus on the mythological theme of the play and illustrate the suffering of the female protagonist expressed lyrically and dramatically, as well as on the structure of the monodrama.
