Is Woyzeck an exploited and disadvantaged martyr or is he just a simple womanizer? Büchner's text opens up both possibilities. In the original text, Woyzeck is not actually forced into anything, but he forces himself. He waits for a reward that never comes. He begins to see himself as a victim and in this way he justifies his murder. This is still a current theme: people give themselves the right to do terrible things when they feel they are at a disadvantage. Written by
