Abstract

Although E.T.A. Hoffmann's "Der goldne Topf" is a fairy tale, it shows similarities to the Bildungsroman, or developmental novel, especially in the theme of the development of the poet. Because of this similarity, the thesis will compare ''Der goldne Topf" to antecedent works: Goethe's Wilhelm Meister and Novalis's Heinrich von Ofterdingen. The comparison focuses on Anselmus, the protagonist in "Der goldne Topf," his development from awkward student to poet, his mentors, and the symbols within the work.
