During this time the Marquise discovers that she is pregnant — but she has no knowledge of having had intercourse with any man. Her parents are scandalized and she withdraws to her own estate. But gradually she is reconciled with her family. Hence the advert in the paper — to which a response appears, saying that the father of the child will appear.

It turns out to be none other than the Graf F. The Marquise is initially horrified that her angelic saviour should have so devilishly dishonoured her.

But the marriage takes place; after some time has elapsed, the two of them are united in true happiness. Perhaps it is helpful, as one takes stock of this story, to think initially in terms of three interpretative registers. One is comic, as I have already suggested.

The other is as so often with Kleist existential. And the third is, for want of a better word, Freudian. The comedy of the story is largely anchored in the attempt of a dignified, conventional family to retain their decorum in the face of the mysterious pregnancy that has befallen the daughter.

When the latter, assuring her mother of her sexual purity, says that one should nevertheless send for a midwife, the mother exclaims, in a line entirely worthy of Lady Bracknell: At one point news is brought to the family that the Graf has been killed, but shortly afterwards he re-appears, to general consternation.

One might also mention, under the heading of comedy, the following moment. The detail of his putting on his hat is eerily comic.
