This may be secured only in the theater. So Hauptmann writes plays, and through a natural fallacy of public opinion he has been proclaimed Germany's greatest living dramatist. Yet it may be severely questioned whether he should be considered for that place of honor. A dramatic writer may be a great poetic genius and an in- different maker of plays. Had Goethe given us nothing else but Faust we should neverthe- less accord him readily the first position among modern poets; but should we in that ...case be justified in calling Goethe the greatest modern dramatist just because Faust is cast in the dramatic form? 126 MODERN GERMAN LITERATURE Judged by a just dramaturgic standard, Haupt- mann is deficient in three essentials. In the first place, he is weak as regards his dynamics. The characters are stationary, incapable of any real development. In a certain way they are very true to life, thanks to their author's prodigious power of observation and his absorbing attention to detail. They are gotten up regardless of pains.
