摘要
Based on the treatise by Gerhard Bungert and Marlene Grund published in 1983,titled Karl Marx,Lenchen Demuth and the Saar,author Gisela Hoffmann,who lives in St.Wendel in the Saarland,Germany,which is the birthplace of Helena Demuth,wrote the play“Powerful Women Around Karl Marx”.It has been performed multiple times,the latest of which is on the occasion of International Women’s Day on March 8,2018 in Trier,Germany.Along with presenting research on Helena Demuth as a historical person,this article will examine how Helena Demuth,as a historical and literary figure,can be said to embody a dynamic between exitus and new beginnings,changes and interferences.The article also examines how the figure of the Continuum,with the four dimensions physical(body),psychological(emotion),social(behavior),and sexual(desire),can be used to illuminate the person of Helena Demuth in all her facets,not the least of which are her connections to Jenny and Karl Marx.
