The Method (novel)

The Method (German: Corpus Delicti: Ein Prozess) is a 2009 novel by the German writer Juli Zeh. The story is set in a future "health dictatorship", where laws have been written to optimize the citizens' health. The novel was developed from Zeh's 2007 play with the same title. Reviews in major German newspapers complimented Zeh's focus points and narrative structure, and compared the book to works by authors such as Ray Bradbury and Friedrich Dürrenmatt.

Mia Holl

Mia Holl is a 34-year-old biologist and is the main character of the novel. After the death of her brother, Moritz Holl, she becomes lonely and depressed. Throughout the book she becomes a rebel against the government. Her dedication to the METHOD is not strong enough to be actively against it. The name 'Mia Holl' comes from the name Maria Holl, a woman who was thought to be a witch in the 17th century.

Moritz Holl

Moritz Holl is Mia's 27-year-old brother, who even before the story starts commits suicide in jail, where he was awaiting a trial for murder. He loves nature but is also an independent rebel who wants nothing more than freedom. Because of his complex thoughts he can't find any other person to talk to and therefore invented the "Ideal Beloved", who he passes on to Mia just before his death. The name 'Moritz Holl' comes from another character named 'Max' (via the household combination Max and Moritz) in another Novel from Juli Zeh.

The Ideal Beloved

The Ideal Beloved is a fictional character who helps Mia through the difficult period after her brother's death. She has the same ideology and thoughts as Moritz and could be his ghost. After Mia's emotional wounds are healed, she disappears, since her quest has been accomplished.
