The tragedy of Friedrich Nietzsche is a one-act drama. The brief duration of his life reveals nothing other than himself. All the acts of the tragedy can be likened to an avalanche. He finds himself alone beneath the raging sky of his own self and destiny. He has no one with him to help, and no woman soothes the tense atmosphere with her tender presence. Everything begins with him and ends with him. The few figures that initially walk in his shadow accompany him with mute gestures of surprise and terror.
