Abstract

“Desire”Desire is one of the archetypal emotional conditions and motivating forces of human behavior. As the stage is an ideal place for social experiments, plays show us all sorts of characters, situations, and reactions to various forms of desireDesire. In this chapter, we look at the characteristics of desiresDesire in Lessing’s Emilia GalottiEmilia Galotti, Schiller’s Cabel and Love, Frank Wedekind’sWedekind, Frank FranziskaFranziska, Tennessee Williams’Williams, Tennessee A Streetcar NamedDesire DesireA Streetcar Named Desire, and his Orpheus DescendingOrpheus Descending, Henrik Ibsen’sIbsen, Henrik Hedda GablerHedda Gabler, Ray Bradbury’sBradbury, Ray Fahrenheit 451Fahrenheit 451, and Elfriede Jelinek’sJelinek, Elfriede Rechnitz (Der Würgeengel)Rechnitz (Der Würgeengel). The text distills very different types of desireDesire (fulfilled or frustrated, successful or failed desireDesire ending tragically or happily, and desireDesire to killDesire to kill) and prepares for a general discussion of desireDesire and its complexity.
