Abstract
Friedrich Dürrenmatts Minotaur. A ballad documents the failure of the Minotaurs desire to become human according to the scheme of the development novel. In its encounters with the human being (the female, the force represented by a boy and with its mythical antagonist Theseus) the hopes of the Minotaur at deliverance from its existential loneliness and uniqueness are disappointed. Dürrenmatt turns away from the current interpretation of the Minotaur as a monster and introduces instead a theseus- as well as socio-critical version, that the predatory animal nature of the human being exposes.Downloads
