Prior to their departure, they both penned farewell letters, which along with an account of the final night they spent at the inn Gasthof Stimming, are now part of world literature. Upon their arrival in the vicinity of the Wannsee in Potsdam , Kleist first shot Henriette and then turned the gun on himself. They were buried together in a common grave at Kleine Wannsee Bismarckstrasse , which has become a tourist attraction.
It was redesigned by the time of the bicentenary of their deaths. On that occasion direct access from Wannsee station to the grave was built. The gravestone, erected by the Nazis in , was turned round and now shows engraved original text written by Max Ring and the Pater Noster's request: The material for the second, Penthesilea , queen of the Amazons, is taken from a Greek source and presents a picture of wild passion.
Of Kleist's other dramas, Die Hermannsschlacht is a dramatic work of anti- Napoleonic propaganda, written as Austria and France went to war. It has been described by Carl Schmitt as the "greatest partisan work of all time". Robert Guiskard , a drama conceived on a grand plan, was left a fragment. His short narratives influenced those of Kafka [9] and the novellas of the Austrian writer Friedrich Halm.
Kleist's work also delved into the realm of rhetoric. Most notable for his use of error and understanding its importance, Kleist's devices used were misspeaking, misunderstanding, mistaken identities, and other confusions of the sort. In his works one can see the most prevalent use of rhetoric within Penthesilea.
In the story moments of violence, seduction and war all hinge upon errors in language. Through these errors, Kleist shows how error can influence everyday situation and can be the causation of serious problems. As a sum, Kleist's use of error explores what one can make of ironic errors within speech. Kleist is also famous for his essays on subjects of aesthetics and psychology which, to the closer look, show a keen insight into the metaphysical questions discussed by philosophers of his time, such as Kant , Fichte and Schelling.
It is not that easy though for Kleist. Man cannot simply guide himself into the future with a rational mind as his primary tool. Therefore, Kleist strongly advocates for the usefulness of reflection ex post facto or after the fact. By reflecting after the fact, man will avoid the seemingly detestable inhibitions offered in rational thought. In other words, the will to power has "its splendid source in the feelings," and thus, man must overcome his "struggle with Fate " with a balanced mixture of wisdom and passion.
