Paracelsus and other one-act plays

by Arthur Schnitzler

Cover of Paracelsus and other one-act plays

Paracelsus (1898) has the theme "All the world's a stage" and combines it with hypnotism. The green cookatoo (1898) is an intermingling of illusion and reality. Marionettes and The puppeteer have as a theme the tendency of some human beings to treat others as mere playthings or puppets. The great puppet show features both puppets-on-a-sting and "real" characters.
