Das Schloss im Wald

The way the story blurs reality and horror is striking—I'm curious whether this fusion was a deliberate choice to explore deeper themes or evolved during writing.

The moral ambiguity made me question whether evil is born or made, but I was surprised by my own feelings towards certain characters' motivations.

The historical backdrop adds a layer of horror that feels both specific and universal. I wonder if the author aimed to comment on the nature of evil across time.
