In Hebbel's first drama - the story he took from the apocryphal Book of Judith in the Old Testament - murdered the "virgin widow" Judith designated by megalomaniacal power feelings Assyrian generals Holofernes and saves her people from destruction to Israel.

The heroine returns home and the priests praised the God who has led Judith. The then 26-year-old poet is interested in the connection between inner and outer life. Or rather, for their opposition. Judith Holofernes was intoxicated and dressed, but was raped by him. So the God-believing murderer plagued by foreign tyrants in their interior with self-doubt, can not see the beheading of Holofernes as "pure" order of God.

Judith longed for sensual fulfillment, but as liberators of their people they must own that exceed their respective limits of nature and destroy the object of their desire. It also represents the fact, their dignity restored. Here, the motifs are superimposed for the murder. Judith has "the right of wrong reasons" done. So the fact is taken an objective justification.



Judith breaks. Besides the battle of the sexes, the Hebbel makes almost all his plays on the subject, he is concerned with the idea of ??humanity itself, it is not only the relationship of the characters to the idea, but the "right of self-concept Debates" are. "It takes Judith to the Bible I can not there is Judith, a widow who attracts the Holofernes by craft and cunning into the network,. She is happy when she has his head in a sack and singing and cheering long before, and all Israel with three moons . That's mean, and such a nature is not worthy of their success is [...]. My Judith paralyzed by their deeds; it solidifies before the possibility of giving birth to a son of Holofernes, it is clear to her that they have the has gone beyond limits that they have done at least the rights of wrong reasons, "said Friedrich Hebbel in seinemTagebuch 1872nd

"Alexander Khuon Holofernes is neither monster nor sex offenders of Massensmords, more of an almost suicidal dandy of tyranny: his butchery he accomplishes in the nonchalant quickly, disgusted as of puny environment: No worthy adversary far and wide ... Lovely, too, like the wretches of Bethulia one living à la Rodin sculpture group are: the anger and filth Burghers of Calais. Far from any larger than life presents itself Judithvon Catherine Marie Schubert: as, young woman torn in the struggle for their identity - and achieves remarkable, almost vibrating intensity. In her heart she must conquer the woman in himself, must become a man, capable of great deeds, which is a crime. The World

"Catherine Marie Schubert stands as Judith with admirable resilience and as a fundamentalist rock in the surf between discursive attack, surrender, defense, suicide, God's faithfulness, love of man. Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung
