How does Frank Wedekind use imagery in A Children's Tragedy?

Wedekind uses dark inagery to convey the importance of the climactic scene at the graveyard. Melchior stands surrounded by death, where Wendla's gravestone is given prominence, and Moritz's headless ghost serves as a constant reminder of death. This scene develops the conflict between death and life that is Melchior's internal struggle, and from which life emerges victorious.
