"Professor Unrat, oder, Das Ende eines Tyrannen" by Heinrich Mann is a novel written in the early 20th century. The story centers on Professor Unrat, a tyrannical schoolteacher who has earned the disdain of his students, who mockingly refer to him by a derogatory name meaning "garbage." The book explores themes of authority, humiliation, and rebell...
tormented by his students’ jests and his own insecurities. He is depicted as a tyrant—escalating conflicts with his students and rigidly enforcing discipline while grappling with feelings of vulnerability. Amidst an escalating situation, one of the students, Ertzum, shouts out "Unrat!" which ignites a confrontation. Unrat’s flustered reaction reveals a man obsessed with maintaining control, as he relentlessly punishes those who defy him, unknowingly further alienating himself from the very authority he seeks to uphold. As Unrat interacts with his students and contemplates his role as a teacher, his internal struggles and the mocking behavior of those around him set the stage for a deeper exploration of power dynamics within the school.
