tragic romance. In killing Marie with a knife, Woyzeck had to look her in the eye and physically feel as she died by his hand. The murder was vile, but could be seen as passionate in its gory violence. It could be construed as a jealous lover’s catharsis, and required Woyzeck to have conviction in his action due to the sheer effort it would take to actually kill Marie with only a knife.

every morning, but at the end of this, the scene ends and, like the unsatisfying ending of both Shaw’s and Johnson’s pieces, the reader is left to figure and react what might occur after the curtain closes, whether it is disappointment, enjoyment, catharsis, or any other emotion under the rising sun that ended their viewing…
