Summary/Abstract: This article presents literary anthropology as a valuable and relatively new approach to analyzing German Enlightenment texts. It is structured as a case study, with Gotthold Ephraim Lessing's Emilia Galotti serving as a canonical example. In doing so, it highlights the shortcomings of the social-critical method that dominated scholarship in the 1970s and 1980s. Addressing the fundamental question of the protagonist's death, the article pays particular attention to the psychological characterization of the figures, masterfully constructed by Lessing, a keen observer of human nature.
