      J. P. Jacobsen lader barndom og drift samt social placering betinge forløbet i » Marie Grubbe« og den medfødte karakter bestemme »Mogens«. Kun sin måde at dø på vælger mennesket selv (Niels Lyhne), hvilket netop vakte Rilkes beundring for Jacobsen. Hos Herman Bang er driften dominerende i »Haabløse Slægter«  og sammen med arven betinger den forløbet i »Fædra«.
      J. P. Jacobsen lets childhood and urges as well as social rank determine the events of "Marie Grubbe", and native character determine "Mogens". It is only its way of dying that the human chooses themself (Niels Lyhne), which is what roused Rilke's admiration of Jacobsen. In Herman Bang, the urges are dominant in "Haabløse Slægter" and together with legacy/inheritance, they determine the events in "Fædra".
