- W54865262 abstract "T)ontoppidan's De D0des Rige (first published in five parts, 1912-16; JL collected and revised 1917) is most frequently interpreted primarily in relation to its social criticism, and the pessimism in the novel is derived from Pontoppidan's doomsday view of Danish society of the time.1 Within the framework of this critical view, however, most of the characters and their actions seem rather formless and inconclusive; their personalities seem unfinished and blurred and appear at times to merge and overlap. Thus the characterizations of the two pastors, Johannes Gaardbo and Mads Vestrup, tend to blur into each other, and Mads Vestrup sometimes suggests a reversed and distorted image of Johannes Gaardbo; the physicians Asmus Hagen and Povl Gaardbo echo this relationship; and the politicians Tyge Enslev and John Hagen repeat it once again. It is perhaps significant that the major characters who fall outside this pattern are the most central ones, Jytte Abildgaard and her one-time fiance Torben Dihmer. Jytte, perhaps the major character of the novel, is the human thread that connects and interrelates the other characters; Torben, though also an allpervasive presence in the novel, has a curiously passive role, rather above and outside the work, and he, alone of all the chief characters, takes no really active part in the development of the novel. It is also significant that, although virtually all the central characters in the end suffer failure and tragedy, only Jytte and Torben are capable of foreseeing their own physical destruction. Jytte senses that her marriage with Karsten From, the woman-chasing painter, may destroy her, and she accepts her fate since she is powerless to resist it, while Torben deliberately stops the treatment for his disease with the full knowledge that the disease will then slowly kill him. A possible key to the apparent unclear differentiation of the other major characters may be provided in the first book of the novel, where Jytte, musing over her ambiguous relationship to Torben, alludes to the Greek myth of the androgynous original human creature, a myth which her father had once told to her:" @default.
