What is the author's style in A Children's Tragedy by Frank Wedekind?

Wedekind's style is partially realistic and partially fantastic. Part of its fantastic nature, the feeling of disconnectedness from reality, comes from the state of adolescence. The exaggerated, disconnected nature of adolescent perspective is reflected in the sinister teachers and schoolmaster at the boys' school, in the demeaning conditions at the reformatory, in the dire situations the children find themselves in, and finally in the fantastical scene where Melchior must choose between the headless ghost of his dead friend and the mysterious masked stranger.
