peer agreement (net): +1social decline Explanation: wäre eine Möglichkeit, aber Kontext wäre (wie immer) hilfreich -------------------------------------------------- Note added at 27 mins (2005-10-22 19:21:43 GMT) -------------------------------------------------- In view of the context, I would probably say "social downfall" -- as in this reference http://wso.williams.edu/~dgerstei/chaplin/women.html "The erosion of the Tramp in such a condition, with the public becoming more interested in what lay beneath the Charlie fiction, led to Chaplin's social downfall, and that began with The Great Dictator -- Chaplin both concluded Charlie's real career with the film, and fused the character more with himself by putting an atypically opinionated speech in the character's mouth (see my essay on Chaplin against the Fascists or Charlie's speech itself for more on this)." |
