Abstract

The authors of this article analyse female characters in the prose of Ingeborg Bachmann. Her series of novels Todesarten – which includes Malina (1971) and Der Fall Franza (1979) – and a series of short stories Simultan (1972) are the subjects of the analysis. The authors prove that in the prose of the Austrian writer there appear
women who are tyrannised by men and accept the role of a victim. Such an attitude leads Bachmann’s protagonists to both the loss of identity and self-destruction.
