By questioning this method, the focus shifts to other levels in the literary texts, which may reveal an anti-Semitic "sub-text" although the imagery seems harmless. What these literary levels are and how they interact is exemplified by two examples from Thomas Mann’s Buddenbrocks. The results shed new light on his Nobel prize-winning first novel.
