In Johann Wolfgang von Goethe's novel, Die Wahlverwandtschaften , the conflict within the work arises from the marriage between Charlotte and Eduard, which is threatened by the arrival of Ottilie and the Hauptmann. Soon this results in the formation of new couples: Eduard and Ottilie—a childlike, almost childish couple—and Charlotte and the Hauptmann—a grown-up, mature couple.;In this thesis, I will argue that this "Eheroman", in the true sense of the word, is the story of one marriage: Charlotte and Ottilie are fractions of a female identity; Eduard and the Hauptmann embody aspects of one man. Therefore, instead of the story of four people, it is in reality a portrayal one marriage.;Furthermore, I use the novella Die wunderlichen Nachbarskinder within Die Wahlverwandtschaften as a key to the novel. When comparing the novella and the novel, we can see several similar thematic, as well as structural elements. Hence, by inserting the novella, the narrator hands us a tool to interpret and to understand the character constellation within the novel.;In this context, I will apply Noël Carroll's concept of fission figures from his work The Philosophy of Horror (1990). In a fission figure, opposing elements or different aspects of an individual are split into different characters. Each facet of this identity stands for a different aspect of the individual, which is hidden, ignored, suppressed or denied. I argue that this is precisely the situation in Goethe's novel, in that Charlotte and Ottilie, on the one hand, are different intensifications of the same conflict, and Eduard and the Hauptmann, on the other hand, embody contradicting elements of one individual. Each of these couples is presented in the female or male character of the novella.;Therefore, in the center of the novel I see the conflicting expectations of two people within one marriage, as opposed to the relationship between the apparent four characters likened by a chemical reaction. The couple’s attempts to resolve their differences, through their alter egos, remain unfulfilled at the end of the novel.

机译：在约翰·沃尔夫冈·冯·歌德（Johann Wolfgang von Goethe）的小说《死亡世界》（Die Wahlverwandtschaften）中，作品中的冲突源于夏洛特和爱德华之间的婚姻，这受到奥蒂莉（Ottilie）和Hauptmann的到来的威胁。很快，这导致了新夫妇的形成：爱德华和奥蒂莉（Eduard and Ottilie）–一对孩子般，几乎幼稚的夫妇–夏洛特（Charlotte）和奥普特曼（Hauptmann）–一对成熟的成熟夫妇。这个词的真正含义是一个婚姻的故事：夏洛特和奥蒂莉是女性身份的一部分。爱德华和豪普特曼体现了一个人的各个方面。因此，与其说是四个人的故事，不如说是一场婚姻的写照。此外，我将《 Die Wahlverwandtschaften》中的中篇小说《 Die wunderlichen Nachbarskinder》用作小说的关键。比较中篇小说和小说时，我们可以看到几个相似的主题以及结构元素。因此，通过插入中篇小说，叙事者为我们提供了一种工具来解释和理解小说中的人物星座。在这种情况下，我将运用诺埃尔·卡罗尔（NoëlCarroll）的裂变人物概念（来自《恐怖的哲学》（The Philosophy of Horror，1990））。在裂变图中，个人的对立元素或不同方面被划分为不同的角色。此身份的每个方面代表着个人的不同方面，被隐藏，忽略，压制或拒绝。我认为这正是歌德小说中的情况，因为夏洛特和奥蒂利一方面是同一冲突的不同加剧，另一方面，爱德华和霍普特曼则体现了一个人相互矛盾的元素。这些对夫妇中的每对都以中篇小说中的女性或男性角色呈现。因此，在小说的中心，我看到两个人在一次婚姻中的期望相互矛盾，而不是像一个人那样明显的四个角色之间的关系。化学反应。这对夫妇通过改变自己的自我来解决分歧的尝试在小说的结尾仍然没有实现。
