The dilemmatic situation presented in his “Marionettentheatre-Essay”is the result of such evolution of thought, in which manis depictedwith his desire to searchfor Heavenbut damned to live his life by knowing that it is impossible to gain Grace again. We live in a place between earth and sky, pure material world and God and even technique cannot save us
