Von Kleist's writing style is characterized by its psychological depth and emotional intensity, drawing readers into Kohlhaas's world of moral dilemmas and societal injustices. The novella is considered a masterpiece of German Romantic literature, with its exploration of themes such as justice, revenge, and the limits of individual agency resonating with readers even today. Heinrich von Kleist, a German playwright and author, was known for his tragic and existential works that delved into the complexities of human nature.
