I thought Maria Theresia's dad made a much better Disney villain, and that's saying something!
I know. And if not him, and you want to present FW himself as strict but fair because you're a 19th century German playwright and evil Hohenzollern kings are not on, what's wrong with G & S, single or together, as the main villain(s)? Where does the evil valet come from?
think it is meta-hilarious that LITERALLY EVERYONE IN THE WORLD EXCEPT FW thinks the Potsdam Giants are hilarious!
I know. Even the occasional fervent FW defender whose text I've read thinks so.
the only thing I can think of is a) lots of alcohol b) Gutzkow must have desperately wanted Wilhelmine to have a happy ending and a happy marriage as I did by the time I was done with volume 1
As good an explanation as any! I can just imagine him reading that passage about her husband being subjected to the Tobacco Parliament and abused by FW only to talk back and leaving and thinking "in a play, that would have impressed her father and been the prelude for a happy ending and would have happened before the marriage, not after! I know! I'll write a Hohenzollern RomCom!
