  • that produces such formal gardens, when expressed in literary art, will interpret human experience through plots in which conflicts between nature and order, passion and civilization, duty and inclination are themati cally central: plots such as those of French Classical Tragedy. But, Charlotte recognizes, times have changed. The received wisdom of the new age is that a fully realized human life will exhibit a comprehensive harmony between nature and art, spontaneous impulses and rational goals: its fundamental assumptions are, in other words, precisely those which make Weimar Classicism so different from the Classicism of the French tradition. In the making of the New Park, human reason is not conceived as a force over against nature, but rather as one mode of nature's unitary existence in which nature becomes aware of its own potential and, working in and through human conscious- 8 DIE WAHLVERWANDTSCHAFTEN ness and skills, finally achieves that potential perfection in all its fullness. The aim is not to make nature look like a human artefact, but to bring out its intrinsic beauty, free from contingent blemishes: true success is achieved when a discerning observer, such as the visiting English Lord, can detect the hand of art only in the flawlessness of the scene before him, without being able to identify any single feature as the result of the gardener's efforts (p. 429). 5 Stories which express the outlook underlying such horticulture will be like the one Eduard thinks he is living in, once the apparent ending that was his marriage to Charlotte has been undone. In the new story which Eduard projects into the future, spontaneous impulse in himself, Ottilie, Charlotte, and the if only it is allowed to overcome the Hauptmann - obstacles of past mistakes and social conventions - will lead to a happy conclusion through a new ordering of things that will bring true and 'natural' fulfilment to everyone. From the anticipated perspective of that ending, the final marriage of Eduard to Ottilie and of Charlotte to the Hauptmann will lend meaning to all that has gone before. The discords and apparent conflicts produced when the Hauptmann and Ottilie entered Eduard and Charlotte's household will prove to have been no more than passing dissonances in a harmonic scheme moving towards resplendent resolution. This is Eduard's assiduously fostered hope; for much of the time between Ottilie's abandonment of her first set of'laws' and her adoption of her second set it appears to be her aspiration, too; and even Charlotte, though she cerainly does not want the outcome Eduard anticipates, nevertheless seems for a long time to believe that events are being taken towards an eventual 5 The Englishman's judgement on the Park
