Abstract
The aim of this essay is to describe the role of Courage –the female protagonist of ‘Die Landstörtzerin Courasche' (1669) by Grimmelshausen - as the incarnation of Frau Welt, as was suggested by Feldges, in order to bring out the complexity of a literary character whose (female) image was made up of the usual misogynistic stereotypes of Grimmelshausen's historical and cultural context. Despite being depicted as a modern Frau Welt, Courage cannot escape her destiny of subordination to men and essentially acts as a deterrent character, thus embodying the misogynistic stereotypes of the time.
