Re: Thomas Mann: Royal Highness
In chapter one, the Grand Duke states:
"Nobody is to blame, it is a misfortune; but misfortunes for which nobody is to blame are the most terrible of misfortunes, and the sight of their Sovereign ought to awaken in his people other feelings than those of sympathy."
At the birth of his son, his foremost thoughts are those of show. Is this the real constriction which Klaus Heinrich is born into?
