Turgenev's Asja and Arthur Schnitzler's Fräulein Else” uses Ludwig Wittgenstein's concept of family resemblances, as well as Paul Watzlawick's communication axioms to analyse typological similarities between Russian story (1858) and Austrian monologic novella (1924). The first part considers respective patriarchal authority in both texts, and discusses potential conflict situations of two young women at the border between childhood and adolescence. The second part compares protagonists who face an important inner dilemma, specifically Asja's choice to name her problem and Else's inability to discuss her issue with anyone. The author concludes that both works advocate for ‘speaking out loud’ as strength.}, url = {https://doi.org/10.13173/wienslavjahr.4.2016.0025} doi = {10.13173/wienslavjahr.4.2016.0025} }
