Franz Gregorovious Character Analysis

Dick’s friend and Kaethe’s husband. Franz is a successful psychiatrist at Doctor Dohmler’s psychiatric clinic in Zurich. Visiting Franz to assist him with a complex case, Dick learns about Nicole—a patient at the clinic—and that her father, Mr. Warren, raped her when she was a child. Franz is concerned, therefore, when Dick becomes romantically involved with the 17-year-old patient. Nonetheless, Franz and Dick open their own clinic together several years later, which for a short while is very successful. When Kaethe insists that Dick’s alcoholism is undermining his professional capabilities, Franz is forced to dismiss Dick from the clinic.
