This play forms part of a tetralogy which focuses on one of Wedekind's obsessive themes: the destructive interplay between primal sexual urges and social convention. Each play revolves around a powerful young female character, who has the power to control and captivate men, but who in turn is destroyed by the exercise of that power. In Castle Wetterstein, that role is represented by Effie, the young daughter of a bourgeois widow, who is being courted by the man who killed her late husband in a duel.

"Sell everything," Jesus of Nazareth had told the rich young man who had traveled so far to meet him. "This can't be the Messiah," Addi thought as he walked away from the encounter. The Messiah would have known he had dedicated his whole life to God and building a deep and powerful financial kingdom right under Pilate and Herod's noses. A financial kingdom ready to equip and supply the Messiah's army when he returned. He and the secret organization he was a member of just needed the Messiah to step forward, claim his kingdom, and drive out the armies of Rome as the prophecies of old had foretold. "Therefore, he can't be the Messiah."

The old approaches to employee retention and corporate culture no longer work, and greater corporate social responsibility is quickly moving to the forefront.
