In "Homo Faber," Max Frisch explores the complexities of human relationships and the disconnection individuals can feel in a social environment. The protagonist, Walter Faber, expresses a sense of fatigue and weariness towards people, suggesting that social interactions, regardless of gender, can be draining. This sentiment reflects a broader theme of existential ennui and the struggle to find meaningful connections in a world that often feels alienating.
Faber's declaration, "People tire me, even men," encapsulates his profound detachment and highlights the challenges of intimacy and understanding among individuals. The notion of weariness with people serves as a critique of modernity, where technology and rationalism can overshadow authentic human experiences, leaving a void in relationships that many struggle to fill.
