Overview
Thomas Mann said that his novella Tonio Kroger was a modernized version of Theodor Storm's Immensee. Although the theme and story of these works are similar, Mann's protagonist is given a voice where the subjective interior of Storm's is only hinted at. This article explores how this distinction affects the flow of time, considering in particular the effects of symbolic objects and spaces on the construction of subjective temporal experience. I contrast Storm's techniques of prefiguration with Mann's use of leitmotif, and propose the concept of the 'temporal prism', when a single image refracts time simultaneously in multiple directions.
