Summary "The Dramatic Works of Gerhart Hauptmann, Volume II" by Gerhart Hauptmann is a collection of social dramas written in the early 20th century. This volume focuses on the intricate relationships among its characters, who are deeply influenced by their social environment and the socio-economic conditions of the times. Hauptmann's work often highlights the challenges of life, the injustices tied to social class, and the struggles faced by ordinary individuals, which is evident in the characters of these plays. At the start of this volume, the introduction sets the stage for Hauptmann's exploration of social issues through the lens of his characters' conflicts and interactions. The first play featured, "Drayman Henschel," opens in a modest room where Henschel's wife lies ill, revealing the thematic elements of hardship and familial duty. The opening scenes introduce Hanne, a maid, and Franz, a coachman, who discuss their unsatisfactory lives, setting a tone that blends personal struggles with the oppressive nature of their environment. As tension mounts between the characters – from Henschel’s distress over his wife's health to Hanne’s ambitions – the stage is set for a deeper examination of the characters’ lives and the social commentary that Hauptmann weaves throughout the narratives.
