Die weibliche Figur Tulla Pokriefke in „Katz und Maus“ und „Im Krebsgang“

Abstract

In this article the female character of Tulla Pokriefke will be analysed on the basis of two works, in which she plays an important role: “Cat and Mouse” (1961) and “Crabwalk” (2002). The article is to present how this probably most important and most significant heroine in postwar German literature, Tulla Pokriefke, is shown by Günter Grass, what role she plays in these two novellas and whether or not it still is the same character after almost 40 years.
