Der Sohn: Ein Drama in fünf Akten

by Walter Hasenclever

"Der Sohn: Ein Drama in fünf Akten" by Walter Hasenclever is a drama written in the early 20th century. The play follows a young man's internal maturation and depicts a generational conflict between father and son. What begins as a private struggle transforms into a broader social conflict, culminating in a revolutionary "fight against the fathers." The son, suffocated by his authoritarian father's strictness, seeks freedom and self-determination, leading him down a path of rebellion that threatens to end in violence.
