German Romanticism continues to confound and perplex me. I found this novella somewhat frustrating. I appreciated the irony and the unremarkable "good-for-nothing" protagonist and I think the happy but extraordinary ending is to highlight the "good-for-nothingness" further. I was irked by the protagonist's naivety and his simple acceptance of most things that come his way. I think I shouldn't have expected an ambitious protagonist when it was clearly stated he is a good-for-nothing right in the title of the work.
