" But Hauptmann has also V treated social problems in purely comic technique, and in this way gave us what may well be called the best modern comedy in German literature — " Der Biberpelz " (The Beaver Coat). The contrast of bare reahty His Work from 1889-1912 ^^^ with the presumptuous honesty of the heroine of the play, the washerwoman, Mrs. Wolff, produces the most comic effect. Hauptmann realizes that the field of the comic is the in- tellect, and he contrives to raise the aspect of all acti...ons to this level, in order to prevent any ethical and moral ill-feeling from damaging its humour. He therefore chooses an old literary device — a scene in court — to form the setting of a comedy. The contrast of the blind and pretentious judge with the clever washerwoman who is the moving spirit in everything and pretends to know nothing, is perfect comedy. All thefts, at first the wood — the policeman unwittingly assisting the thief — then the fur coat, are committed by Mrs. Wolff, and yet the honest soul is never suspected.
