when he accompanies his lover Gudrun to her home near a bridge he presses her so hard. “Under the bridge . . . he lifted her upon his breast . . . and crushed her, breathless and dazed and destroyed.

The authors have used simple English that can be followed by undergraduate or graduate students of Philosophy and literature.

It is very persuasive due to the different sources that are used and the way they are incorporated in the text.
