Institute Benjamenta, or This Dream People Call Human Life
Jakob arrives at the Institute Benjamenta to become a servant. He studies movement, drawing circles, and servitude with seven other guys under Lisa. A better room is requested. No other pupils arrive or work. Johannes is dissatisfied, imperious, and uninterested in school. Lisa is lovely but on the point of breakdown. Incest smells. Lisa may be drawn to Jakob. Winter makes her catatonic. Johannes says things have gotten worse since Jakob arrived. Cause-and-effect?
