Der Snob Komödie in drei Aufzügen
"Der Snob" by Carl Sternheim is a comedy in three acts written in 1914. The play chronicles Christian Maske, a newly wealthy businessman determined to climb into aristocratic society in Wilhelmine Germany. To achieve his ambitions, Christian ruthlessly severs ties with his past—dismissing his supporter Sybille, paying off and sending away his parents, and marrying into nobility. When his common-born father threatens to expose his origins, Christian concocts an audacious final scheme to obscure his bourgeois background forever.
