Abstract
My contribution deals with the changing aspects of the
situation of "Waiting for ..." as a literary topie in the Scandinavian
literaturę from Ibsen's "Peer Gynt" to Hjalmar Bergmans novel
"Herr von Hancken" - with a subseąent outlook on the reuse of the
motif in the time between the two world wars. The analysis of important
works of Scandinavian Hterature during this period - including
works of Ibsen, Strindberg, Lagerlof, Hj. Bergman, H. Aanrud -
shows very clearly that the main characters as a conseąuence of the
loss of the intended or expected object are inclined to transform their
reality and thus replace the empty position of the object with the
most phantastic projections of a secondary, artificiel world which has
no similarity with the empirical world of common experience. On the
contrary. Due to the subjecfs free disposal over the object-area it is
possible for them to create a fictional world which approaches the
world of madness and in which the authors are expressing the crisis
and the solitude of human beeing under the conditions of modem society.
