Der böß Rauch and Das heiß Eysen
- husband establishes need for justice
- making fun of wife, public spectacle
- tournament, contest
- Xanthippe - sort of woman (bad) - stock woman of comedy
- duel - way of determining justice
- evil fume = metaphor for the woman
- insight into women in Medieval society - sexist
- Freudian symbolism - rude play
- seriousness introduced near end
- takes on the emotional ambiguity
Both cases end up with morals - at the end brought back to reality
Hans Sachs - a little bit of trust is a good thing
Plays put audience in a difficult situation
