The Lost Honour of Katharine Blum is a very intriguing novella. I think that the German morals were based around hard work and were highly patriarchal. The patriarchal structures presented in this text often limited the freedom of women within the 1970 society. The violent actions of the News towards Katharine Blum make me question the nature of these morals. Why does a young lady have to suffer at the hands of sensationalist media and corporate capitalism? I have not yet read Scythe but what you have mentioned seems to be intriguing. However focusing on the novella I wonder if these morals still remain corrupted and active in the German society and our society today.
