Summary "Der Mörder: Eine Novelle" by Arthur Schnitzler is a psychological novella written in the early 20th century. The book explores the complex emotional and moral dilemmas faced by its protagonist, Alfred, who navigates a tumultuous love affair while harboring darker impulses. The central theme revolves around guilt, betrayal, and the consequences of one's actions in love. The story follows Alfred, a young lawyer who is involved in a secret relationship with Elise, a woman of lower social standing. Despite enjoying their time together, he begins to feel restless and is drawn back to his wealthy social class, where he contemplates marriage to Adele, a more suitable match. When Elise falls ill, Alfred's inner turmoil intensifies as he grapples with the decision to end their relationship. Ultimately, his desperate longing for Adele leads him to a shocking act—he poisons Elise, believing it will free him for a life with Adele. As the novella concludes, Alfred’s actions result in tragic consequences, leaving him to confront the devastating fallout of his choices and reflect on the cost of his desires.
