N2  - The motif of silence falls not only on Herta Müller‘s first collection of short stories, but is a basic recurrent idea of her entire work. Silence and fear emerge through various mechanism of power and manifest themselves violently on the psyches of Herta Müllers figures. As the child of Niederungen is aware of his command of silence, he tries to turn against the instrumentally generated norms of the Banat Swabians society. The speech prohibition is a shocking experience, which he perceives physically.
