From the Paper:
"Discovering interior universal truth about the human condition remains a timeless philosophical quest for authors. Notwithstanding, the German author Rainer Rilke attempts to expose the core ingredient of the human psyche in his novel, The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. The author states the novel's primary purpose during the "Is it possible" segment. The author writes; " Is it possible... that's been covered with an incredible tedious material, which makes it look like living-room furniture during the summer vacation? (23). This thesis foreshadows Rilke's attempt to strip away the veneer of self-concept, symbolized by "incredible tedious material" in an effort to reveal the fundamental heart of the Self."Sample of Sources Used:
- Rilke, Rainer M. The Notebooks of Malte Laurids Brigge. New York: Vintage International. 1990.
