Kobna želja

Kobna želja

Hedwig Courths-Mahler

In the novel Fatal Desire, Hedwig Courths-Mahler interweaves elements of a crime novel in order to better highlight the difference between the positive and naive girl Berty and the negative, calculating Linda.

Berty, as a good and honest girl, faces the machinations of Linda, who tries to seduce her father and take control of his wealth. The novel explores themes of love, greed, morality, and the conflict between good and evil, with an emphasis on Berty's struggle to protect her family and preserve her own honor. Through dramatic plots, typical of Courths-Mahler, the story likely leads to the triumph of goodness and justice, with a romantic denouement that emphasizes the power of sincere feelings.
