Pseudonym (Heinrich von Kleist)

Heinrich von Kleist was a German writer known for his philosophical and dramatic works. The pseudonym "Pseudonym" doesn't refer to a specific alias he used; rather, the term is often associated with Kleist’s writings that explore themes of identity, disguise, and the fluid nature of selfhood. Kleist’s stories and essays frequently delve into the complexities of human perception and the masks people wear in society. His use of pseudonyms or alter egos was a literary device to examine these ideas more deeply, emphasizing the distinction between outward appearances and inner reality.
