博托·施特劳斯关注联邦德国社会中个体存在的状态。他常常自情爱或两性关系,抑或亲情关联来揭示人与人之间交流的挫败以及个体孤独的实质。剧本《大与小》中的洛特,可谓此间的典型。同时,作家对个体当下的身份认同存疑,指陈“自我规定的个体,是理性最无耻的谎言”。 Botto Strauss concerned about the state of individual existence in the German-German society. He often reveals his frustration in the exchange of people and the loneliness of the individual by his own love or relationship with the sexes, or the connection between the two. Lot in the script “Big and Small” is a typical example here. At the same time, the writer’s doubts about the identity of the individual at the moment mean that Chen’s self-regulated individual is the most shameless lie of reason.
