Audience Response in the Yiddish ‘Shund’ Theatre

View through CrossRef
The following comparison between the Yiddish ‘Shund’ play Dos Yudishe Hertz by Joseph Lateiner and August von Katzebue's most popular melodrama Menschenhass und Reue aims to throw light on a very significant aspect of the Yiddish ‘Shund’ Theatre. I believe that the conclusions of this comparison show how Yiddish ‘Shund’ playwrights tried to answer their audience expectations and how they manipulated their audience by trying to evoke a certain kind of response.
