Paola Bonelli Buchners beruhmten Drama liegt ein authentischer Kriminalfall zugrunde. Aus Eifersucht erstach der 41jahrige Friseur Johann Christian Woyzeck am 21. Juni 1821 seine 46jahrige Geliebte, eine Chirurgenwitwe. Woyzeck kam vor Gericht, wurde zum Tode verurteilt und wurde am 27. August 1824 offentlich hingerichtet. Im Drama verkorpert der Protagonist Armut, Eifersucht, Paranoia - Wesenszuge, unter denen der Friseur Woyzeck zu leiden hatte. Doch die tiefer gehende Interpretation des Menschen, den Ausdruck seiner Lebenseinstellung verdanken wir der poetisch-asthetischen Vorstellungskraft des Kunstlers Buchner. Ubungen zu Globalverstandnis und Texterschlieung machen den Lerner mit dem Buchnerschen Drama vertraut. Zusatzliche Anmerkungen zum Wortschatz fordern das Verstandnis. Ausfuhrlicher Anhang zur Woyzeck-Rezeption in Oper und Film.
