meh. I know it's a German classic, but I just couldn't enjoy it. I feel like the casual racism was brushed over in the edited edition, even though so many other things were talked about. Overall not the worst school book I've ever read, but not the best by far.

very strange and hard to understand, the scenes being out of context was confusing and people kept randomly bursting into song, but at least the dialogue was pretty funny.

Ich finde das Buch spannend und interessant. Da es sich um ein fast 200 Jahre altes Drama handelt, ist es teilweise etwas schwerer lesbar, aber hinten im Buch befinden sich Hilfen zum Verständnis. Manche Bewertungen kritisieren die Behindertenfeindlichkeit in dem Buch. Dafür sollte man aber nicht das Buch verurteilen, sondern die Gesellschaft, die in dem Buch abgelichtet wird. Damals waren die Menschen um einiges frauen-, juden- und behindertenfeindlicher als heute - zu, Glück. Das Buch verdeutlicht, wie ein psychisch Kranker (Woyzeck) von seinem Umfeld gedemütigt und ausgenutzt wird, was letztendlich in einem Mord endet. Für diesen würde ich nicht Woyzeck und seine Eifersucht verantwortlich machen, sondern die, die ihn zu seiner Tat getrieben haben…
Auf jeden Fall eine Leseempfehlung, die sicherlich Raum zur Diskussion lässt!
