The Loyal Subject's novel, originally published in 1988 under the title "The Straw Man" provides Heinrich Mann's satirical connection to nineteenth-century European literary works . The writer of this novel derives the word subject from the word "Der Untertan" in the German language. The novel highlights the difficulties encountered in 19th century Europe. Already in the 1950s Heinrich Mann's novel occupied a leading place in European history. The novel goes beyond the boundaries of art in its polemics and its structure fits neither the modern challenge nor the realist tradition. Otherwise the loyal subject follows the life of Diederich Hessling. This article discusses what the Loyal Subject reveals about nineteenth-century Europe. Otherwise, the novel is an indictment of the Wilhelminian regime.1 Diederich Hessling was an ordinary but otherwise unfortunate German who imitated aristocratic actions, blindly revered authority, and consciously employed his self-pro-monarchical and patriotic feelings to make progress in your career. . Heinrich's account of Diedrich's encounter with the spectacle of fin-de-siècle Berlin involves characters from different social classes. The characters in this novel range from the unemployed, the miserable, and the object of Hesling's uncritical loyalty just like the Kaiser himself. The faithful subject reflects on how the Civil War complicated cultural emotional value, particularly the ideal of sympathy. In this novel Heinrich attacks the nationalism, militarism and authoritarian structure of German society, which led to his exile in 1933. However, Heinrich Mann wrote the novel in the nineteenth century; the Germans blocked its republication due to its critical view of the ultra-n......half paper revolutions......and the deprivation of a strong monarchy. However, it later turns out that the benefits of the Sonderweg were very numerous and that on the contrary they damaged the Germans both spiritually and materially. In conclusion, the scientists who rejected the Sonderweg are deceiving themselves because the real facts favor it. The Sonderweg theory connects well with German history in Heinrich's novel during the nineteenth century; however, it is sometimes difficult and painful to bear.4Works CitedGunnemann, Karin Verena.
