| Summary | "Kongens Fald" by Johannes V. Jensen is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story unfolds in a historical setting, predominantly showcasing the life of Mikkel Thøgersen, a student in Copenhagen, as he navigates the complexities of society, relationships, and his own aspirations. The novel weaves themes of existentialism and the struggles of individual purpose against the backdrop of war and societal expectation, illuminating Mikkel's interactions with notable characters like the melancholy Otte Iversen and the elusive Susanna. The opening portion of the narrative introduces us to Mikkel Thøgersen as he traverses the streets of Serritslev. He engages with a group of soldiers, revealing his aspirations and insecurities, particularly regarding his stature as a "Stork" among them. Through his encounter with Otte Iversen and gradual immersion into student life, we sense his internal conflict and yearning for acceptance. Mikkel's evening culminates with reflections on his relationships, particularly with a woman named Susanna, hinting at deeper emotional struggles that will unfold throughout the text. The narrative sets a tone of introspection, blending Mikkel's mundane experiences with his philosophical musings in the vibrant, yet tumultuous backdrop of early 20th-century Denmark.
