Abstract

In this paper Frank Wedekind´s play write is considered. The play includes, three adolescent characters. in a particular tragedy Only one of them avoids death. There is a fourth character that regulates and impedes the deadly enjoyment; he is a masked man who has no need to be recognized, thus gaining autonomy. His presence is related to the absence of a surname, which shows a masked speech, linked to a father. Puberty involves a second awakening, not only of sexual drives but also of the death drives. The rising of both drives Eros and Tanatos, may occur in two different ways: suddenly and anguished as in nightmares like it happens in Maurício and Wendla´s scary daydreams or as in Melchor’s daydream.
