reviewed Heinrich von Kleist: Plays on May 22, 2014 Heinrich von Kleist: Plays
I am not sure whether this has been studied in depth, but there is a remarkable parallel between the Prussian aristocracy and the Japanese samurai. Both were warrior casts that eventually turned much of their attention to the arts. The plays of Kleist, especially Prince Friedrich, remind me strongly of Kurasawa's samurai movies, with their combination of dramatic tension, philosophical probing and complex psychology.
