The recent discussion regarding the works of Kleist on the Yahoo! list has persuaded us here at Michigan to post the following bonus, the first bonus read at the Summer of Kleist. If you know the answers, send them to nerinjer_at_... and receive mad props from the Michigan team. 1. Alright, so you've been complaining about Heinrich von Kleist. You say, "not enough Kleist!", you say, "not hard enough Kleist!" This tournament and this bonus are both for you. Identify these things about your friend Heinrich von Kleist for five points each and make your dreams come true: (Note, this is probably the hardest bonus at the tournament.) 5 - For starters, HvK was involved in a troupe of artists, authors and patrons in Dresden where he and friend started a periodical. Name that periodical. 5- Next, name the man with whom he started Phobus, the court philosopher for Prince Metternich. 5- Next, name the tragic drama of his which centers on the love of the queen of the Amazons for Achilles. 5- Inspired by a threatened rising against Napoleon, HvK wrote some savage war poems and this political and patriotic tragedy, which was an attempt at a call to arms for all of Germany. 5- Next, identify this drama he wrote, set in Swabia in the Middle Ages about a strong heroine. It was shut out of the Berlin stage. 5- For a final 5 points, HvK killed himself and a psycho woman who begged him to kill her. Identify that woman, and you will live forever in Kleist Heaven!
