		Coming when Aschenbach’s spirits are highest during his stay in Venice, the Mittersnatchlied marks the aesthetic and moral center, and in a film where the architecture of mood complements the architecture of form it is the highpoint of formal and emotive organization.

	Concerning "Death in Venice"
		The thesis of Thomas Mann's "Death in Venice" seems to be a statement about the role of Eros and of the Apollonian and Dionysian in man's nature.
		Mann is using not only the dualism of Apollonian and Dionysian, as found in the thought of Nietzsche – or the idea of the reason in contradistinction from appetite as found in the thought of Plato, St. Augustine, Aquinas, Schopenhauer, Freud, et al.
		When the plague is discovered, he chooses to remain in Venice, for the thought of returning to his old life of effort, self-mastery, reason and an ordered existence repulses him (66).
