| Summary | "Die Familie Selicke: Drama in drei Aufzügen" by Arno Holz and Johannes Schlaf is a drama written in the late 19th century. This theatrical work investigates family dynamics, addressing themes of social struggle, illness, and existential challenges, centering around the Selicke family during a Christmas setting in Berlin. The play introduces various characters, including the weary mother, Frau Selicke, and her children, Toni, Albert, and Walter, who navigate their subdued lives under the strain of an absent and potentially alcoholic father. The opening of the drama sets a somber tone, depicting the Selicke family's modest living conditions and the tension stemming from both illness and financial difficulties. Frau Selicke is primarily focused on her sick child, Linchen, while feeling distressed about her husband's absence and behavior. The young characters, particularly Walter and Albert, display a mix of innocence and impatience regarding their father's whereabouts and the family's hopes for a traditional Christmas. Additionally, the presence of Gustav Wendt, a theology student, suggests themes of aspiration and the yearning for a better life, contrasting with the family's current struggles. The dramatic exchange captures the intertwining of familial duty, love, and the grim reality they face, inviting the audience to reflect on the dynamics of a family's resilience amidst hardship.
