Death in Venice by Thomas Mann
Question Description
For this essay, I would like you to explore Aschenbach’s love or desire for Tadzio. Why does he fall in love with a boy, and what does that tell us about him, his world, or the time which he lived? Why is his passion understood as a “Cholera” that ultimately kills him at the end? What is the pleasure he takes in Tadzio’s death, or even his own? At the end of the novel, Mann alludes to Socrates. How can you see the story of Aschenbach’s passion for Tadzio in relation to the “Ladder of Love”?
