The aim of this essay is to consider how Tieck uses the Narrheit concept in his work Der gestiefelte Kater as a key to interpretation. In doing so, it is also possible to grasp the semantic variability and the multiple layering of the Narr concept. Tieck calls some of the heroes of his comedy Narr, and through these Narren—figures intended to describe some weak points of the society of his time—he intends to reflect on the correctness of the order in late eighteenth-century society.

Abstract
The aim of this essay is to consider how Tieck uses the Narrheit concept in his work Der gestiefelte Kater as a key to interpretation. In doing so, it is also possible to grasp the semantic variability and the multiple layering of the Narr concept. Tieck calls some of the heroes of his comedy Narr, and through these Narren—figures intended to describe some weak points of the society of his time—he intends to reflect on the correctness of the order in late eighteenth-century society.
