The young Tonio Kröger sees himself in a dichotomy between the normal daily grind and artistic intellectualism. The first part of his name refers to his maternal origin and stands for the unregulated Italian way of life, however, Kroger stands for German citizenship and devotion to duty, it is the part that he has inherited from his father. 'I stand between two worlds, I'm at home in neither, and am consequently having a hard time.'
