Von Flotow's translation strategy addresses a number of the stylistic inaccuracies of the Becker translation, for example in the maintenance of a fluid, shifting narrative voice much more similar to that of Wolf's German text… She returns for the variation of tenses and pronouns used by Wolf, upholding the shifting temporality of the narration that helps to keep the continuing feeling of anxiety and lack of closure in the text. Her translation also more successfully maintains the variety of voices and registers that creates the text’s heteroglossia and destabilizes the narrator's authority... Where Becker's translation omits or weakens comments that are troubling or ambivalent, von Flotow seeks to maintain these and uses language that reflects the problematic nature of the vocabulary in the German text.
