The Robbers

Legacy

The play is referred to in Dostoevsky's The Brothers Karamazov. Fyodor Karamazov compares himself to Count von Moor, whilst comparing his eldest son, Dmitri, to Franz Moor, and Ivan Karamazov to Karl Moor.[8] It is also referred to in the first chapter of Ivan Turgenev's First Love [9] and briefly in chapter 28 of Charlotte Brontë's Jane Eyre.[10] G. W. F. Hegel in his The Phenomenology of Spirit is thought to model the 'law of the heart' after Karl Moor. This was first suggested by Jean Hyppolite[11] and by others more recently.[12]
