A 1891 work by a German playwright of the nineteenth and early twentieth centuries, Benjamin Franklin Wedekind.

The tragedy of choice forms the center of the play: a fourteen-year boy commits suicide out of fear after failed exam.
Franklin Wedekind one of those who destroyed mercilessly the pernicious world of deceitful nineteenth century with its Victorian morality and cynical self
-deception. Wedekind was covered with legends even during his lifetime, and his works were considered by critics to be an utter fiend, for their sincere and clear derision of Victorian morals.
