Abstract
This study examines the major differences that exist among critical interpretations of Romeo und Julia auf dem Dorfe. Included is a survey of the creation of the novella, the various revisions made by Keller, and Keller's own feelings about the work. This is followed by the thorough discussion of the differences in interpretation of the structure, the characters, the symbols, the overall meaning, and the classification of the novella as a tragedy. Some attempt is made to point out the interpretations that are best substantiated by the text. The results of the study indicate that some of the interpretations show a strong influence of the particular premise of the critic.
