Schnock: ein niederländisches Gemälde by Friedrich Hebbel

"Schnock: ein niederländisches Gemälde" by Friedrich Hebbel is a humorous tale written in 1836–37. The story follows a traveling narrator who meets Schnock, a timid carpenter who has just captured an escaped thief. Despite his large, strong build, Schnock is fearful and dominated by those around him. As he recounts his life story, a portrait emerges of a man constantly pressured into decisions against his nature—forced into his father's trade and a troublesome marriage that leaves him struggling to assert himself.
