Jim's Reviews: trying to make a living by hawking fruits and vegetables. This disgusts his middle-class family... Hans settles for a loveless marriage with Irmgard, a pert but manipulative and unfaithful wife... painful quest for love, emotional repression, the hollowness of financial success (the futile attempt to make money replace absent but yearned-for emotional fulfillment), the many forms of exploitation (and the complex psychological and social reaons for why people both tolerate and participate in it), and the impossibility of easily categorizing anyone.
